    Discourse Delivered at Lexington "Having obtained help of God, we continue unto this day, and are assembled in his house for the purpose of reviewing a series of events, which should remind us of our obligations to love, and fear, and serve him.

  • Stone Building, Massachusetts Avenue

    Stone Building, Massachusetts Avenue
    This is a fine view of the house taken in 1890. It is almost unnecessary to repeat that it was erected in 1833 by Mr. Eli Robbins to provide a public hall for lectures and entertainments. Miss Ellen Stone presented it to the Town in 1892. It might be well to remind those who have only seen Miss Ellen Stone in recent years that she was very well educated, had traveled widely, and was interested in town affairs. She served two years on the school committee.
