1976 Annual Report <br />Town of <br />Lexington, Massachusetts <br />A LOOK AT LEXINGTON <br />A Bicentennial- inspired project has pro- <br />duced an excellent collection of photo- <br />graphs of buildings in Lexington that are <br />historically and architecturally signifi- <br />cant. The complete series, 1698 to 1975 -- <br />A Look at Lexington, is available for in- <br />spection at Cary Memorial Library. Archi- <br />tectural photographs are by Richard S. <br />Morehouse, A.I.A.; detail photographs by <br />Elizabeth W. Reinhardt. <br />We are indebted to Dick Morehouse for <br />sharing eight photos from this collection, <br />and to Betty Reinhardt for her eye- catching <br />front cover photo. <br />Cover Photos: Lexington Green. Pur- <br />chased by the Town from Benjamin Muzzey in <br />1725 for 15 pounds, the Green sited the <br />Belfry Tower, the first school house, the <br />town stocks, The Liberty Tree and, on <br />April 19, 1775, the thin battle line of <br />colonists. Some of Lexington's finest <br />houses ring the Green and Isaac Melvin's <br />handsome 1847 First Parish Church accents <br />the whole. <br />Other photos in this series: <br />Page 2 John Mason House, 1698 <br />Page 4 John Mulliken House, 1795 <br />Page 14 Stone Building, 1833 <br />Follen Church, 1839 <br />Page 26 General Sam Chandler House, 1846 <br />Page 40 Wilson Farm House, 1856 <br />Page 52 John Mulliken II House, 1855 <br />Page 60 Mansard Roof Houses, 1872 <br />
