PREFACE.
We now present the second number of the Cambridge Directory to the public. In so doing we feel well assured that it is as accurate and complete as any other work of the kind now published.
No efforts have been wanting on our part, to procure the name and residence of every inhabitant, as well as statistics in relation to our city and its Institutions; and we think that as much has been done as could possibly be done under the circumstances. The pre- paration of a publication of this sort, involves vastly more care and labor than people in general are aware of; and this labor is much greater in a place like Cambridge, than in one more densely popu- lated. The city embraces a large extent of territory, the houses are much scattered, and more than all-are not numbered. But we have thoroughly canvassed each of the Wards, and by so doing have found many names that were unknown to us last year.
In this number we have added the names of over fifteen hundred persons, more than were in our first number, besides between three and four hundred alterations; so that we have good reason to feel confident, that we approach perfection as nearly as it can be at- tained in a work of this nature.
Should we meet with the success to which we feel that our efforts entitle us, we shall duly issue succeeding numbers, with such im- provements and additions as the growing interests of our city re- quire, trusting ultimately to make it a source of profit, as heretofore it has proved but a tax upon our finances.
An Addenda will be found on page 16, containing the additions and corrections which were made after the body of the work was printed.
Entered according to an act of Congress, in the year 1849, by JOHN FORD,

Our City
Is divided into three Wards, so bounded as to conform to the usual and long familiar designations of the three principal settlements. The boundaries are at present pretty well defined by nature, but how long this will be the case at the present rapid rate of improve- ment and settlement, is a question which a few years will answer. In every section of the city, the marks of progress meet the eye in all directions ;- the little wood-land still left is disappearing, the marshes are fast becoming dry land, and the ancient landmarks are giving way to streets and rows of handsome dwellings. A word or two upon the several Wards must suffice for this year.
Ward One, known as Old Cambridge, embraces the original set- tlement, and extends westerly and northerly to the towns of Water- town, West Cambridge and Somerville. On the southi, Charles River divides it from Brighton, and a ridge of higher land separates it from Ward Two. In this Ward are most of the objects of inter- est to a stranger. The buildings and pleasant grounds of the Uni- versity, the Craigie place-now owned by Professor Longfellow- formerly the head quarters of Washington, the old Elm, under the shade of which, on a fine July morning in 1776, Washington re- ceived the salute of the officers of the American army as their Com- mander-in-Chief,-the entrance to Mount Auburn Cemetery-that pleasant resort for the tired citizen, Fresh Pond, the noble Obser- vatory with its magnificent telescope, the Botanical garden, (Icha- bod, alas !) and the Massachusetts State Arsenal. Within a year or two past, great improvements have been made here. At the head of "Professors' Row" a new building for the Lawrence Scientific School has arisen :- upon the hill, near the Observatory, a new Catholic Church raises its lofty cross; while in the fields and pas- tures where afew years since the student rambled and collected bo- tanical specimens, streets and dwellings meet the eye on every side. In the business section of Ward One, the new store of A. H. Ram- say, and the extensive prin ting house and bindery of Messrs. Little & Brown, are worthy of notice. A charter has been obtained for a Branch Railroad, connecting with the Fitchburg, the Station of which, if it is ever constructed, will probably be an ornamental structure, not far from the new Scientific School.
Ward Two, known as Cambridgeport, occupies an extensive plain, bounded on the south and east by Charles River, on the northi by the marshes which separate it from Ward Three, and by Somer- ville, and on the west by the ridge of higher land before mentioned, a part of which is known as Dana Hill. This section of the city is the principal place of business, though the opening of the Quincy Market in Boston, and the construction of the numerous railroads running from Boston, all of which by some fatality seem to avoid Cambridge, have almost annihilated the extensive trade which was formerly carried on between " the Port" and the country towns,
5
OUR CITY.
even as far back as the borders of Vermont and New Hampshire. In this Ward are the City Hall, the Almshouse, the offices of the City Clerk, Treasurer, Marshal, &c. Among the improvements may be mentioned, the extensive additions to the large establish- ment of Davenport & Bridges, for the manufacture of railroad cars, and engines,-the elegant structure for the use of the High School, -the beautiful dwellings of Mr. Valentine, on Prospect, of Dr. Wil- liams, on Fayette, and of Mr. Learned, on Main street, &c. We hope, next year, to chronicle the opening of the Railroad, now in contemplation, connecting the Worcester with the Fitchburg, and other roads, and the completion of the new Athenæum building, which has unfortunately been of necessity deferred to another season. Probably few towns in Massachusetts have exhibited a greater change, in five years, than the northerly part of " the Port."
Ward Three, known as Lechmere Point and East Cambridge, is a bluff separated from Boston and Charlestown by the waters of the river, and from Ward Two by extensive marshes and narrow creeks. This Ward contains one of the Court Houses and Jails of Middlesex County, a House of Correction, and various County Of- fices. The march of improvement is as visible in this as in the oth- er Wards; and the beauty of "the Point" has been much improved within a year or two past, by the large and splendid edifice for the Putnam School, by the remodelling and enlargement of the Court House, by the erection of various buildings connected with the Lowell Railroad, and by various new blocks of stores and dwelling houses. In manufactures, this Ward decidedly surpasses the oth- ers; and, among the principal establishments, may be mentioned, the extensive works of the New England Glass Company, the Bay State Glass Works, the soap and candle factory of the Winches- ters, the large brush factory of Stratton, Sheriff & Co., and the granite works of Sanborn & Kemp. During the coming season, it is hoped that a new avenue of direct communication between "the Port" and "the Point" will be opened.
The Court House. - During the past year the Court House at East Cambridge has been entirely remodelled, and two spacious wings have been erected, in which are two of the best Court rooms in this State, if not in the United States. The outlay has been con- siderable-rising of seventy thousand dollars-yet we think no one who has had an opportunity to examine the building, and see the very great improvements in every respect, which have been made, will regret the expenditure.
The rooms occupied by the Register of Deeds, and the Probate Office, are fire proof, and have been very much enlarged and im- proved. There are a number of excellent rooms, accommodating the County Commissioners, Treasurer, Library, Clerk of the Coun- ty, Juries, witnesses, &c., &c. The building is provided with the most approved ventilating arrangements, is well lighted and thor- oughly warmed. Besides the main entrances to the building, which
6
CITY OFFICERS.
are spacious and convenient, there are private entrances and a sep- arate flight of stairs for the special use of those connected with the Courts.
The outside of the building is to be covered with composition similar to the " Revere House" in Boston. When completed it will add much to the beauty of that part of our city. The Archi- tect, A. B. YOUNG, EsQ., of Boston, in connection with the County Commissioners, deserves much credit for the perfect arrangement of the building, and the faithful manner in which the work is exe- cuted.
