Neighborhood Events
The Sumner Hill Historic District is
located in the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood of Boston, approximately seven miles
southwest of the city center, in an area roughly bounded by Seaverns Avenue,
Centre Street, South Street, Carolina Avenue, and the Southwest Corridor. The
district, which encompasses 365 acres, contains 63 buildings and 18 structures,
of which 28 buildings are designated as non-contributing due primarily to severe
alteration, temporary nature, or recent age rather than intrusion. In the
following description, the district's architectural development is described
chronologically by style with selected buildings offered as outstanding and/or
characteristic examples of particular styles.
2008 Sumner Hill Garden Stroll
Saturday, June 14
1PM-4PM
Saturday, June 14 - Hold the date! Be sure to pencil in the afternoon of June 14 to stroll the streets and visit your neighbors' gardens. Last year was a huge success and we are planning to please this year too.
Would you be willing to put your garden on the tour this year? No garden is too small or large, and we don't want to hear that it's not "finished" enough - what garden is ever finished?! If you'd like your garden on the stroll, we'd love to include it - please contact coordinators Lenny Desautels or Elaine Gelinas at ldesautels@hammonre.com or elainegelinas@comcast.net for more information.
