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.Mark B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03524735496130204611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636068312591857663.post-82110309051992823562011-03-11T20:19:09.180-05:002011-03-11T20:19:09.180-05:00Mendell Way is not on here.

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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
