Harrison Ave. is by the Boston Hospital, which existed then too, and in 1897 the street was lined with residences. My family was at 4 Harrison Ave. Some of the houses were duplexes. Land records, tax records and the like will probably help you somewhat. I know I got some good clues from them. -----Original Message----- From: Paul F.Foley <paul.f.foley@verizon.net> To: BOSTON-L@rootsweb.com <BOSTON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, March 16, 2002 5:37 PM Subject: [BOSTON] info for 1897 needed >Hi!
