Thank you to everyone who came out to explore Roslindale and view my painting exhibit! This puddingstone house was the first stop on the walking tour. It was built around 1865 when Roslindale was part of Roxbury. It was owned by the Bussey family and likely built for a heir of Benjamin Bussey before their family estate was donated to Harvard to form the Arboretum. While South St was never part of the Arboretum, it was owned by Harvard until the early 20th century. Now puddingstone is the state rock of Massachusetts. It’s a conglomerate rock formed by volcanic activity over 500 million years ago. If you want to stroll the route of my Roslindale tour, you can! Check the link in my bio. You can also see my art show at @thecenterpieceflowershop. Custom floral arrangements are paired with the art. See it while the flowers are still fresh. It’s on display until Oct 16 or so. And if you’re ever looking to do your own research, check out the MACRIS (Massachusetts Cultural Resources Information System) and atlascope by @bplmaps. #boston #archi_ologie #archilovers #newenglandliving #bostondotcom #bostoday #accidentallywesanderson #historichomes #historicpreservation #theprettycities #citylabontheground
