City Pays $21,000 for Gravel From Baldwin Bank
Boston records reveal the Baldwin gravel bank, purchased in 1854 for about $21,000, costs far more than the land’s value. Alderman Curtis publicized the deal as a dubious swindle, noting the land could have been bought for roughly $6,500 and taxed at about $5,000. The dispute details the committee’s hurried vote, the investigation into land value, and bids from auctioneers questioning the bank’s utility and price.
