Historical Background on
Named Rooms in
Cary Memorial Building
& Town Offices
Cary Memorial Signage Working Group
February, 2012
Updated by Town Manager’s Office – March 2014
Cary Memorial Building
The ‘Isaac Harris Cary Memorial Building’, often (incorrectly) referred to as
‘Cary Hall’, was constructed with a gift from sisters Susanna E. Cary and Eliza
Cary Farnham in memory of their father. At the dedication of the building in
1927 the naming recognized the generosity of the Cary family.
The gathering spaces and meeting rooms in the building are named after
individuals serving the community during the 1700, 1800, and early 1900’s,
recognizing the intent of the Cary family to erect a memorial building for use in
celebrating the history of Lexington.
This building is sometimes confused with the Cary Memorial Library, located
across Massachusetts Avenue and on the opposite end of Lexington Center.
The library is named after Maria Hastings Cary, who donated money to the
Town for a ‘free public library’ in the 1860’s.
Cary Hall (main hall) – (Now named the Margery Battin Hall)
This Colonial styled performance hall opened to the public in 1928. The Hall is
graced with a proscenium stage, Corinthian pilasters and arched windows and
is a symbol of the exuberance and vitality of Lexington's cultural activities.
Memorial Lobby, East Corridor, West Corridor
No name changes proposed.
Ellen Stone Room
This first-floor meeting room to the left of the lobby as you enter (west side of
the building). Named within past 5-7 years.
No name changes proposed.
Estabrook Hall
Name dates from time of building construction. The ‘hall’ is located on the
property of the original Estabrook family homestead.
No name changes proposed.
Robbins Room
Previously a coat room, this space was converted for public meeting use.
No name changes proposed.
Bird Room (Suggested name: Hudson Room)
Formerly the location of an aviary collection donation, this room was referred to
as the ‘Bird Room’ for many years. The space was originally identified in the
building plans as ‘exhibition hall’ and at one time used as the Selectmen’s
meeting room. It is located on the top floor of the building and is currently
accessible only by stairs at each end of the room.
Charles Hudson was author of ‘The History of Lexington’. He served the Town
as a member of the School Committee in1853 and 1856; Selectman from 1857-
1861; and Representative to the General Court (Commonwealth of
Massachusetts legislature) in1857.
Civil Room (Suggested name: Harris Room)
This room became known as the ‘Civil Room’, based on its prior use as a Civil
Defense room. One of two small meeting rooms on the second floor of the
building, this room on the west side is currently accessible only by stairs. (The
main hall balcony is located in between these two meeting rooms on the second
floor.) The room was renamed when renovations were last made to the building.
Mary Harris was the second wife of Jonathan Cary, a successful maker of ship
masts in Boston. It was said that much of the future success of their six
children was due to the careful training and good advice received from their
mother. One of the sons was Isaac Harris Cary, whose daughters, Eliza and
Susanna, donated funds to construct the Cary Memorial Building to
memorialize their father.
Legion Room (Suggested name: Cotton Room)
Long referred to as the ‘Legion Room’ based on use (during what time period?),
this room was named for Judge Joseph R. Cotton. Located on the east side of
the second floor, this room is accessible by elevator as well as stairs. The room
was renamed when renovations were last made to the building.
Judge Cotton was Chairman of the ‘original’ Committee to confer with the
Trustees of the Isaac Harris Cary Educational Fund (funding source for
building construction) prior to building construction. He also served as a
Selectman, Judge, and Representative to General Court.
Town Offices
Previous name changes to Town Office Building following the most recent
renovations.
Lexington has no ‘Town Hall’; the building where general government offices
are located is often referred to as the ‘Town Office Building’ but the name of the
building (in gold letters on the frieze) is ‘Town Offices’. There are three public
meeting rooms in the building.
Selectmen’s Meeting Room
The Board of Selectmen schedules their regular meetings in this room, unless a
larger space is needed to accommodate the anticipated number of attendees.
The Selectmen have been meeting in this room since (date?)
Reed Room
This small first-floor conference room was previously referred to as ‘Room 111’.
Following completion of building renovations, it was renamed in memory of
William Reed who served in the General Court over a number of years: 1741-
‘47, ‘50, ‘60-‘62, ‘64-‘67, and ‘69-‘70. (when Lexington was Cambridge
Farms?)(any relation to Joshua Reed and Joshua Reed, Jr., members of the
Lexington Militia Company who stood on the Common on the morning of April
19, 1775?)
Parker Room
This larger conference room on the ground floor was referred to as ‘G-15’ for
many years. After the 2011 renovation of the Town Offices, the room was
renamed in memory of Captain John Parker.
John was born on the family homestead purchased in Lexington (on modern
day Spring Street) by his grandfather in 1712. A farmer and woodworker, he
came from a long tradition of military service and was Captain of the Lexington
Militia Company in April of 1775. He commanded the men on the Lexington
Green and later led them to extract revenge on the British Regulars from a
rocky outcrop at the edge of town now called “Parker’s Revenge.” The
Minuteman statue in Lexington was originally intended to represent an
idealized Minute Man, but has come to be identified as a depiction of Captain
Parker (who was, however, stout and of medium height.) Captain Parker was
also the grandfather of New England Transcendentalist Theodore Parker.

Re: Participation by Lexington Selectmen and Other Board Members in the Town Meeting
Members Association (TMMA) Listserve
Dear Amy:
The Lexington Selectmen seek your guidance on whether, consistent with the Open Meeting
Law, they may participate in a listserve sponsored by the Lexington Town Meeting Members
Association (TMMA).
The TMMA is a volunteer private group comprised principally of elected Town Meeting
members and certain other at-large members, including the Town Meeting Moderator, Town
Clerk, all five Selectmen, the chairman of the Appropriation Committee, the chairman of the
School Committee, the Town Revenue Officer, the Town Counsel and any member of the State
Legislature who reside in the Town. The TMMA’s mission is to support the work of Town
Meeting members and to explain the institution of Town Meeting, including its local government
role and procedures, to both Town Meeting members and the public. The TMMA hosts a
website at http://www.lexingtontmma.org/pmwiki.php?n=Composite.HomePage.
The TMMA also sponsors a Yahoo-based email discussion group at:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lex-tmma/info . The TMMA sponsors the forum “to
support and encourage constructive discussion among our members and to help facilitate Town
Meeting, which is the legislative meeting of the Town of Lexington, Massachusetts.” This
season features robust exchanges on warrant articles scheduled to come before Town Meeting
for action.

{A0251569.4 }
Membership is open to Lexington's Town Meeting Members, town management and
designated employees, elected officials and officially appointed members of town
committees and boards.
Non-members may freely view all postings and archives by visiting this website.
As a courtesy, list members may post messages on behalf of non-members if such
messages otherwise meet the Acceptable Use Policy of the forum.
The Selectmen request your advice on the following:
Does the exemption (e) of Town Meeting sessions from the definition of “Meeting” apply
to such a listserve?
If it does not, may individual Selectmen post messages to the website expressing their
individual views on articles coming before Town Meeting?
Would it make any difference in the analysis if the individual Selectmen made clear that
he or she spoke as an at-large Town Meeting member, not as a Selectmen?
If the Board of Selectmen already had deliberated in a duly posted open meeting and
reached decisions on majority and minority positions on warrant articles, would the OML
permit posting to the listserve reports by individual Selectmen of such decisions and
explanations of the positions taken?
Attached is a current list of 98 standing boards, committees and subcommittees of the
Town. Many members of these boards and committees are also Town Meeting members.
Would the OML prevent listserve communication by these Town Meeting members
concerning Town Meeting issues which fall within their respective board jurisdictions?
Would it make a difference if less than a quorum of any particular board are members of
the TMMA listserve?
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide on these questions. The Selectmen want to
ensure that the requirements of the OML are maintained, while at the same time facilitating
communications leading up to the legislative sessions of Town Meeting.
Sincerely,
Kevin D. Batt
