* A street like Parker street was laid out in sections at different dates, and often under different names. I gave the date for the short section within the current boundaries of Jamaica Plain as I define then.

Mendell Way is not on here. I'm just curious about when it was created and why it wasn't made a thru street? The fact that it's a dead end that leads to stairs that put you on Dalrymple St. makes no sense. Also, always wondered why Dalrymple is "L" shaped.

ReplyDeleteDalrymple is L shaped because the land on Amory st was already laid out before Dalrymple. The brick house in the middle of the block on Amory was already there, blocking the path of Dalrymple if it came through all the way. Boylston place was also laid out, and houses were built by 1884, so Dalrymple would have come through them too. There were three owners of the land where Dalrymple runs now, two with the same last name. They must have gotten together to lay out the street to sell house lots. The short leg of Dalrymple was originally called Georgianna on maps. Where Mendell way is now, it looks like there were houses there at the time, so the street wasn't laid out from Boylston to Schools sts.
