HISTORY OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

WATERTOWN-(Continued).

BUSINESS INTERESTS-BANKS.

THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF WATERTOWN .- The local business of Watertown has never been very large, but the opportunities for its citizens to supply their wants for food and clothing and other necessi- ties have gencrally been good. When transportation from Boston to the outlying towns was by wagon- this was long after that first period when transporta- tion was by boat, along the estuaries and up the riv- ers,-when, in fact, all transportation between Boston and the central and northern parts of Massachusetts, and with New Hampshire and Vermont, was made by teams,-Watertown was on the great road, where six-horse coaches and six-horse wagons were common, passing through her streets as commenly as single teams pass now. Then there were convenient stopping- places-taverns for the entertainment of man and heast. There were at least six taverns, where we have scarcely one now. Then there were stores also where the countrymen could sell their produce and buy their dry-goods and groceries, their hardware, their medicines. In the early days money was scarce, salaries of the minister and schoolmaster were paid in corn and other grain. Of course nearly all trade was barter trade ; exchange of produce at the stores. A farmer would come in with his family, making a day of it, to make his purchases for several weeks or months at once.

Trade has changed greatly from what it was sixty or eighty years ago.

Now the farmer, if not supplied at his own door, or in his own village, goes directly to Boston by rail, makes his purchases with the money which has been returned perhaps by the commission dealer for his produce, sees the sights and returns the same day, or atter a very short stop.

The stores in Watertown now supply what the ladies or the families do not care to take the time to go to Bos- ton for. It is true that the people, in many cases, would be far better served nearer home, and at cheap- er rates ; but one cannot expect the average person who wishes to buy a few dollars' worth of dry-goods, sny, to refrain from the temptation to overhaul the entire stocks of the large dry-goods stores in Boston. Then "that is as good as a play," and so they have their satisfaction for their time and money, even al- though they choose poorer and less tasty goods, and at higher prices than they would have given nearer home, but they have seen great quantities of goods and a large number of people buying.

In this way we try to account for this present tendency to rush to the largest places for everything, which is common to the multitude, not reflecting that

they often buy of cheap salesmen who have no name and no care to establish a reputation, when they might have purchased nearer home of the proprietors them- selves, it is true of smaller establishments, but yet men who have judgment and taste and everything to gain by serving their customers and neighbors well.

Back in the earlier days, which the oldest now scarcely remember, before 1830, William Sherman, who had as a young man taught a school on the corner of School and Belmont Streets, and for a year. in Medford, was engaged in the dry-goods business. He began with Mr. Bigelow and later entered into part- nership with Jesse Wheeler in 1834, under the name of Jesse Wheeler & Co. In 1836 Jesse Wheeler went to West Newton and Mr. Sherman formed a partner- ship with Mr. Bigelow. Later than this he kept a store on the south side of Main Street. When the town-hall was built in 1847, William Sherman was the first occupant on the east side, with hisstock of dry goods. In 1849 he sold out to Win. H. Ingraham, who was for so many years the town clerk and who has occupied so many offices 1 of trust in the service of the town and is in 1890 the chairman of the Board of Selectmen. William H. Ingraham carried on a dry- goods business here for two years, until, in 1861, he was followed by Mr. Joel Barnard, who remained until 1869, when that side was fitted up for the use of the Free Public Library, and Mr. Barnard built the brick block next east of the town-hall, now occupied by the apothecary, James B. Woodward.

In 1838 Mr. Jesse Wheeler returned from West Newton and established a store near the corner of Mount Auburn and Main Streets, where he kept a great variety of goods such as were usually kept in a country store, including dry-goods, crockery, cutlery, boots and shoes, etc .- in fact almost everything ex- cept provisions and building materials.

In 1845 Jesse Wheeler bought the building which he occupied for many (twenty) years. In 1846 Mr. Delano March, who had served as clerk with Mr. Wheeler, was taken into the firm. Many prominent business men have begun their business education in this houve. In 1853, Mr. March retired to enter the firm of Locke, Chandler & March, Boston, afterwards March Brothers, Pierce & Co., wholesale dealers in gentlemen's furnishings.

Otis A. Train, who had been in the employ of the firm for several years and had formed a matrimonial copart- nership with Mr. Wheeler's oldest daughter, entered this house which for a while from this time was Wheeler & Train, until Mr. Wheeler bought him out.

In 1857, Horace W. Otis began as a boy with Mr.

I Wm. HI. Ingraham, chairman of the Board of Selectmen for 1890, served also in 1875 and 1876, and as town clerk from 1850 to 1863, 1881- 1449, twenty-three years, and representative to General Court 1862, 1878, 1879 ; assessor for 1879-1890, (except 1880) many times moderator, fre- quently serving on important committees.

WATERTOWN.

Wheeler. Ward M. Otis began in 1860. Both served on the quota of Watertown in the War of the Rebellion, and on their return from the war bought out the stock and stand of Jesse Wheeler, and since that have continued to carry on the business. During the past year, encouraged by their growing success, they have erected on the west corner of Main and Spring Streets the large brick block which they now occupy. Their business in the changed tendency of the times to greater specialization, is more limited in variety of kinds of goods than were kept by Jesse Wheeler in 1853, although they have a very much larger store and a much larger stock of goods. Dry goods and boots and shoes in sufficient variety for a place of this size can probably be found always on their shelves and counters. The second story of their new build- ing is occupied by the Young Men's Christian As- sociation, and the third fioor by the Pequossett Lodge of Free Masons, who sub-let to the Odd Fellows, the Young Men's Assembly, and various other organiza- tions. This is one of the finest business blocks yet erected in the town. Its architect was Alberto F. Haynes. Our limited space will not allow us to de- scribe the dry-goods store of Geo. C. Lunt & Co., formerly Lunt & Tarlton, or the apothecary stores of James B. Woodward, or of F. M. Martin for many years kuown as Sullivan's, or of George F. Taylor, or the new one of E. E. Jennison, all on Main Street.

So we must not stop to describe the stores of the grocer, Benjamin Dana, who built the Dana Block on Main Street, and the large residence on Summer Street, now occupied by the Rev. William H. Savage. He was wise in securing the location of the works of the gas company on the banks of the river, although the government has not yet1 made the slight expenditure necessary to enable vessels to bring their supplies of coal directly to their wharf. We need not mention the line of grocers who have followed him, improving the methods of doing business until now one beholds an artistic display of all that one can ever need placed out openly so that any one can see the prices plainly marked, to tempt his purse and help him to purchase wisely, as at Benton's Boston grocery, or Hartford's round the corner, or at Hall's in the Noyes Block, or in some others.

The furniture store of Luther Bent, established in 1835, in a small building now within the foundry- yard, then moved to a building now occupied by Page's paint-shop, then to the building be and his son now occupy, when it was on Galen Street, over Mill Creek, where F. H. Martin carries on a similar business. Mr. Leathe, before the great fire of 1841, had a bakery on the corner of Church and Main Streets. After that lamentable fire which destroyed the First Parish Church and much valuable private property besides his own, he put up the building now

standing, and a part of which has since his death soon after its erection, been occupied by his successor, Charles H. Bright, for the same purpose. At the present time there are several other places where bread and other bakers' supplies are furnished to a growing population. Mr. Bright's memory of dates of past events is rather remarkable. In one part of this building, a room is occupied by Charles Lenox, the barber, whose father lived in a small house which stood where the Town Hall now stands, and who was, like the son, a mine of story of the early part of the century. This notice should not close without mention of the office and jewelry store of Hiram Whitney, with its coins and other antiquities in the same building of which he is now the owner.

Builders .- Among the builders whose honora- ble record has been made during the past fifty years should be mentioned H. W. Macurday, who has erected in this and the adjoining towns more than a hundred buildings of the best class, the first of which is now occupied by some of the heirs of John Coolidge, near the old cemetery at Mount Auburn.

The house of Albert O. Davidson, on the beautiful site of the old David Bemis house, at Bemis, was also one of his construction, as were nearly all of the houses along that parkway called Garfield Street. So also the houses, beautiful for design and beauti- ful for situation, occupied by the Pierces, father and son, on the descent of Mt. Auburn Street, and the house of the miller, James W. Magee, opposite the cemetery, on the corner of Chester Street.

Chester Sprague, an active builder, has recently built up nearly the whole of "Otisville," and of Ir- ving Park and vicinity, and has begun on a large scale to build on Whiting Park, of which he is part owner, a large number of modern houses, at moderate cost. The beantiful location, the nearness to steam and horse-cars, the desirable neighborhood, have al- ready secured the success of the Watertown Land Company in this enlargement of the residential por- tion of our town. This company, composed of four persons only-Horace W. Otis, Ward M. Otis, Chester Sprague and Samuel S. Gleason, the real estate agent-has laid out about one hundred lots, of which about one-half are sold; and has reserved several acres of beautiful woodland, on the slope and summit of White's Hill, up which the estate extends. This wooded hill is a pleasant feature of every Water- town landscape. It is to be hoped that this may be joined with some of the land already belonging to the town, and which gay groups of tennis-players occupy every pleasant afternoon, and be converted into a public park for the continued healthy out-door exer- cises of future generations.

In naming the prominent builders who have done and are doing so much to develop the town, one should not omit the plumber, Charles H. Rollins.

There are several architects in town. Most promi- nent among these is Mr. Charles Brigham, who,

1 As we go to press, we hear that Congress has appropriated $20,000 for this purpose, on certain conditions.

HISTORY OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

although yet a young man, has done the town good service by designing many of the public and private buildings, while chiefly engaged in much larger un- dertakings in Boston and other cities. While erect- ing such structures, for instance, as the Maine State- House, the great extension of the Massachusetts State-House, and other similar buildings, he has found time to serve as chairman of the Board of Selectmien for a number of years, has been a member of the School Committee, is chairman of the Board of Trus- tres of the Free Public Library, a director of the Union Market National Bank, and is the president of the Watertown Co-operative Bank. His own resi- dence is a model of good taste.

Alberto F. Haynes has also designed many of the better houses of the town, nearly all in "Otisville" and Irving Park, the new Otis Building, and the Church of the Good Shepherd, which, with its walls of field-stone and its beautiful stained-glass windows of delightful tones, is an ornament to one of the best parts of the town. Sanford Phipps has designed houses on Green Street, the new Almshouse, and the Grant Grammar School-house which stands in the Park.

Henry Russell, Sr., now the Jr. of the same name, Geo. A. Page, and B. T. Rundlett, are each ready to paint the new houses that are to be built, in as good style as they have for many years done their work in this and adjoining towns.

Provisions .- One need not go to the city for pro- visions, for Wm. H. Lyman, and Hackett Bros., and N. B. Ilartford, and Field and Melvin are to be found with well-stocked stores near the square, and others will visit your houses with well-filled wagons. James 11. Snow will serve you with fish, Howard Bros. with ice, Thomay Gavin or W. HI. Pevear & Co., or George 11. Sleeper will bring yon coal or other fuel, so that life in this beautiful town can hardly be called a hur- den.

Building Materials. If one needs to enlarge his buildings or erect new, Gilkey & Stone, as for very many years, have a large stock of lumber and other building materials always on hand. Geo. E. Tee] and Rich. H. l'aine have each a generous supply of all kinds of building and other hardware in stock. When one's house is done, or before, Wm. H. In- graham, or Wm. E. Farwell the collector, or S. T. Sharpe, or even Geo. H. Tarleton will give you choice of companies in which to place the risk of loss from fire, thus dividing, at a moderate expense, the anxiety which valuable possessions bring.

Dentists .-- In another place will be found a sketch of the physicians of the past and present. This might include the dentists also, whose services are so important in our modern civilization. The name of Dr. D. T. Huekins is found there, and in several other connections among the town officers of the past forty years, and should be given here. IFis office is in the new Otis Building. Dr. R. H. Horne occu-

pies the second story over the National Bank, while for a short time since J. P. Niles has had a room in Noyes' Block.

Streets and Sidewalks .- The streets of the town have been greatly improved during the past twenty years, partly under suggestions of N. Henry Crafts, the civil engineer, a native of the town, who made a most thorough and exhaustivereport on a system of streets, " drainage and sewerage" in 1878, as he had on water supply and drainage in 1874 and in 1875; and part- ly by his assistants of that time, who have followed up the work as they have had opportunity. Credit is due to the Learned brothers, Waldo and Wilbur, in this direction ; as also to Charles F. Jackson, a na- tive resident civil engineer, who served the town and his country in the late war.

The town published a large edition of the valuable reports of Mr. Crafts, and these will furnish the basis of future comprehensive drainage works, which must, in the course of time, be undertaken for the proper disposal of sewage and in the preservation of the good name which the town has ever had,-especially when its population was more scattered,-for healthi- ness as a place of residence.

The Town Improvement Society has set out trees and called attention to the general appearance of the streets. The town, with the hearty co-operation of individual owners, has, with their assistance, mainly through David F. Tripp and his helpers, put down on almost every street not furnished with brick side- walks, as on Main Street, good walks of concrete, so that one can walk, even in a rain-storm, from Cam- bridge to Newton or Bemis, with less danger than even a few rods the other way, to that neat appear- ance of one's foot-wear, which it is said that George Washington prized so much.

Ship-building and the Navigation of the River .- William Wood, who was here in 1633, says, in his "New-Englands Prospect " (chap. x.), "On the east side (of the Mistiek River) is Mr. Cradock's plantation, where he hath impaled a park. .. . Here, like- wise, he is at charges of building ships. The last year one was on the stocks of 100 tons. That being finished, they are to build one twice her burden."

That was said of Medford, not of Watertown where Matthew Cradock had, with William How, built a Inill. We do not know that any vessels of any con- siderable size had ever been built in Watertown until 1890. Indeed, most of those living in town have almost forgotten that the river is navigable, or should he, as far as the bridge. Some remember the wharves on the south side, spoken of by Mr. Ensign ; some re- member when, as boys or girls, they rode in the boats or on the freight flat-boats of Mr. Sanger, who, by propelling by poles with the help of the inflowing and outflowing tides, continned to move the heavier freight up and down the river to and from Boston and Charlestown. At least one remembers when, about the year 1821 or 1822, a vessel laden with lumber
