Lost Massachusetts

About the time of Paul Revere’s death in 1818 the street name Mechanic Street begins to appear on maps in Boston's North End. This narrow street, connecting what was then Middle Street and Fish Street, was also connected to Board Alley in the center, forming a ladder on some maps or an arch on others. Mechanic Street in Boston is barely a street anymore.

The Watertown Arsenal is a property that has had many lives. It is mostly known today as a shopping center but for 175 years it was a U.S. Army research facility responsible for some of the most critical innovations in military technology, many of which ended up in civilian use later.
