History of Boston Streets in Brookline Talk
Rev. Edward Everett Hale spoke on History in the Boston Streets at Brookline High School. He traced Boston’s three hills and crooked streets caused by peninsular hollows. He recalled the North End’s old aristocratic era and the Boston Latin School on School Street during the Revolution. The Latin School master dismissed classes as the war began. Roxbury Latin’s master joined the war and the school stayed closed seven years.
