Wife seeks dower in eminent domain case over Paul Revere School site
In Boston, Judge Lathrop heard a bill in equity demanding that the city’s eminent domain payment for the Prince Street site of the new Paul Revere School House be treated as real estate and that Ellen Flynn be assigned a dower interest. The land, 7590 square feet, was bought from David Flynn for $75,000, with ownership later assigned to his son William J. Flynn. The filing by J. E. Crowley and W. A. Pyle argues the fund remains real estate and should support a dower claim.
