ALMSHOUSE RATE OF 1685.
The following extract, from "Snow's History of Boston" (p. 324), will explain the cause of this tax : -
"The Old Alms House, Work House and Bridewell together with the Granary, were situated on Park street. The Granary was a long wooden building at the corner of Common st, capable of containing 12,000 bushels of grain, which it was customary for a committee, annually appointed by the town, to have stored in it fer the accommodation of the poor and others who wished to pur- chase in small quantities, at an advance on the wholesale price not exceeding ten per cent. The Alms House was a two story brick building, in the form of an L., with a gable roof, appropriated to the aged and infirm poor. The Work House was a large brick building, 120 feet long, two stories high with a gable roof, for the reception of vagrant. idle and dissolute persons. Bridewell was contiguous to the work house and was a sort of prison for the dis- orderly : a part of the house was assigned to the insane."
" The first proposal for an Alms house on the Town records occurs in Nov. 1660. In Feb. 1685, a person is admitted into the Alms house. Dec. 16, 1682, the Alms house being burnt a new one is proposed : it was building June 2, 1686. The Work house was built in 1738."
DRAKE adds (p. 597) that the North End market-house fell into disuse. " was eventually taken down, and the timber used in the construction of a Work-house."
On Burgess's Map only three houses (those on the corner where the Tremont House stands) are depicted on the whole square en- closed by Beacon, Park, and Tremont streets. Yet on Bonner's Map of 1722, as reproduced by George G. Smith, we find several more houses, together with the Bridewell on Park street, and the Almshouse on the corner of that street and Beacon street.
May 25, 1795, the town voted to sell all this land, and March 23, 1801, it was sold at auction by the agents of the town. The corner lot where the church now stands extended 118 feet up Park street ; then came three lots, each 78 feet long, on that street, and bounded by the Granary burying-ground. The next lot was 72 feet wide, and extended back 156 feet, overlapping lot No. 3, and reaching to the grave-yard. Lot No. 5 was the corner lot, 66 feet on Park street and 156 feet on Beacon street. Lot No. 6 was 56 feet on Beacon street, running through to the grave-yard, and bounding east on the lot soid to William Phillips, and since covered by the Athenaeum building.
On lot No. 6 the Misses Payne and their brother built a large double house with a drive-way through the centre. Lots 5 and 4 were bought by Thomas Amory, and here he built the large double house which has had as tenants Samuel Dexter, Christopher Gorc and George Ticknor. On the Park street lots have lived Judge Artemas Ward, Abbott Lawrence, Gov. Gardner, the Quincys, Warrens, and other distinguished citizens of Boston.
