Lawson threat stirs Back Bay property dispute
Thomas W. Lawson and owners of nearly two million dollars in real estate clash over the fate of Lawson Park at Beacon Street and Bay State Road. Abutters accuse Lawson of pressuring for an inflated price while Lawson says he may build a garage storehouse or grocery on the triangular park if a settlement is not reached. The park has a ten year tangle with $272000 claimed by Lawson as his share and $80,000 already raised toward purchase.

The case centers on a 1901 purchase price of 175000 with current value cited at about 272000. Park access and future use of the triangular plot remain contested amid city interest and property pressures.
