This article has a high degree of overlap with the Old Cambridge Historic District article. Since the district is pretty much listed because of this street – and because of the fact that they are both pretty stubby – I think they should be merged.-- Dudemanfellabra ( talk) 02:36, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
As you can see, this article is an ongoing project. One obvious thing missing is the Longfellow House in 18th and 19th centuries. Also, I think maybe Hertz's previous idea of merging Tory Row into this article might work well after all. But that is not at the top of my list for what to do tomorrow. I would like to add more images too, but so far I am just dismal at putting images into articles. Takes me a million tries before they look good. Any artistic people who want to jump in? betsythedevine ( talk) 07:29, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I admired and re-used this article's citation format with long quotes inside footnotes, but got advised at Wikipedia_talk:Copyright_problems#Quotes_in_references that long quotes are not ok for stuff out of public domain. Now I see that most of the places this article uses such quotes are very old public-domain publications, so this article is doing it mostly much better than I did. But that is why I am shortening just a few of the quotes in the article. Sharktopus talk 21:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
At the corner of Mason and Garden Streets is one of Cambridge's older style street signs (The ones where it has the city's official seal and also the former name and date of usage of that former road name.) Further down Brattle Street is another one and too and again it says it used to be known as "Watertown Path" in 1630. I haven't been able to find any other source(s) other than these road signs has anyone seen this too? I'm going to try and snap two photos tomorrow.
Question 2. Slightly related, at the corner of Sparks Street and Huron Avenue it that road wasknown as "Town Line"? I'm trying to figure out of what? Could it have meant town line for Huron Village? CaribDigita ( talk) 23:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
This morning on my usual commute I cast my mind adrift again. A few times before I've wondered about something which appeared like a fire hydrant without plugs. Upon closer inspection though I reckon it to be an air vent. I started to wonder if there were tunnels between these colonial homes on Brattle Street as parts of Boston's Financial District are. (Think near Old North Church.) Anyway, I looked up and noticed for a relatively light traffic road (in Cambridge) it oddly does have all of its telephone wires underground? I googled "Tunnels Brattle Street" and came up with a blog showing others have speculated of tunnels running below this street (Especially to/from Longfellow House). Has anyone come-across anything more affirmative of there being one or more tunnel(s) below the street? Hertz88? You seem to come across some interesting Cambridge works. I'm hoping maybe you've seen something. There is ofcourse the old abandoned portion of rail tunnel between Harvard (MBTA) Station (under Brattle Square) towards the Charles Hotel. But this vent I took a picture is closer to the 120s on Brattle Street. CaribDigita ( talk) 18:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
