The Spinning Craze
T HE Spinning Craze appears to have revived at intervals; for the Boston Evening Post, in an issue of Monday, August 13, 1753, gave an account
273
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL SITE
of a large gathering on the Common at that time: "Wednesday last being the meeting of the Society for encouraging Industry and employing the Poor, the Reverend Mr. [Samuel] Cooper of this town preached an excellent sermon before them and a vast assem- blage of other Persons of all Ranks and Denomina- tions, in the Old South Meeting-House. After ser- mon £453 Old Tenor was collected for the further promoting of the laudable undertaking.
In the afternoon about 300 Spinners, all neatly dressed, and many of 'em Daughters of the best Fam- ilies in Town, appeared on the Common, and being placed orderly in three Rows, at work, made a de- lightful appearance. The Weavers also (cleanly dressed in Garments of their own weaving), with a Loom, and a young man at work on a stage pre- pared for that Purpose, carried on Men's Shoulders, attended by musick, preceded the Society; and a long Train of other Gentlemen of Note, both of Town and Country, as they walked in Procession, to view the Spinners; and the Spectators were so numerous that they were compared by many to one of Mr. White- field's Auditories, when he formerly preached here on the Common."

Bumstead Place
B UMSTEAD PLACE, so called from 1807 until 1868, was named after Thomas Bumstead, who became the owner of Adino Paddock's estate. It ex- tended from Common Street, midway between Ham- ilton Place and Bromfield's Lane, easterly for a dis- tance of about 250 feet, and then turned northerly . for about 125 feet into the latter thoroughfare. Thomas Bumstead owned and occupied a wooden dwelling-house on the south corner of Bromfield's Lane and Common Street. He also owned the north- erly part of the Cathedral land, and mention of him has been made elsewhere in this volume.
George Cabot (1751-1823), merchant and leader of the Massachusetts Federalists, occupied for a time the house, number one Bumstead Place. He studied at Harvard, but left College at the end of his Sopho- more year, and went to sea as a cabin boy at the age of sixteen. Later he became a merchant, and formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr. Joseph Lee. They became large ship-owners, and were es- tablished in Beverly, which was then regarded by its residents as likely to become a great New England seaport. Mr. Cabot was Secretary of the Navy in
275
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL SITE
1779, and United States Senator From 1791 to 1796. He was "only one of many, whose minds ripened into a peculiar flavor, and grew strong with a robust, masculine vigor in this school of the sea, which never failed to leave on its scholars the characteristic stamp of the quarter-deck, and a dash of salt water."1
Temple Place
T HE name Turnagain Alley was given by the Town to the present Temple Place in 1708. It was then described as "the Alley leading from ye Common easterly, on the north side of Madam Ush- er's house. "As indicated by its name, it was a blind alley, and as shown on Bonner's map of 1722, it ex- tended only about one-third of the distance from the Common to the present Washington Street. It re- mained a closed lane for two centuries after the set- tlement of Boston. The Masonic Temple was built in 1830, on the north corner of Turnagain Alley and Tremont Street; the name of the former being then changed to Temple Place. For about a week, however, in May, 1865, it was called Autumn Street. A flight of five steps led down through a twelve-foot passageway into Washington Street; and for vehicle traffic Tem-

ple Place might have appropriately retained its early name until it became a thoroughfare in 1864, when the steps were taken away and the passage-way widened by the removal of the adjacent buildings. Meantime, soon after 1830, when the Usher estate was divided into lots, Temple Place began to be built up with domiciles, which were occupied by a number of prominent citizens; it became part of a favorite residential district, and so remained until the period of the Civil War, when the streets of the newly re- claimed Back Bay lands began to be systematically developed.
James Savage occupied the house, number one, Temple Place, on the south side, adjoining the flight of steps above mentioned; removing there from Hay- ward Place as early as 1834. He was a descendant of Major Thomas Savage, a valiant soldier in Philip's War, who in 1663 undertook the construction of a Barricade enclosing the Town Cove, to protect the shipping against possible attacks by a foreign fleet. His forbears, Abijah Savage, and the latter's son, of the same name, were Harvard graduates of the years 1695 and 1723. James Savage attended the Derby Academy in Hingham, and the Washington Acad- emy at Machias, Maine. He too was a Harvard man (A.B., 1803), and was admitted to the Suffolk Bar
277
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL SITE
in 1807. He was the founder and president of the Provident Institution for Savings. Mr. Savage de- voted twenty years to the compilation of a Genealog- ical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England. He was said to have had no rival in the accuracy and extent of his knowledge of New England's history.
In 1832, Thomas Handasyd Perkins (1764-1854), philanthropist and public-spirited citizen, built a house on the site now occupied by the Provident In- stitution for Savings, and there made his home. He gave his estate on Pearl Street to the New England Asylum for the Blind, which was renamed in 1829 the Perkins Institution, in honor of its chief bene- factor. .. . Thomas Lamb (1796-1887) bought the estate number five, Temple Place, in 1849. He occu- pied for many years one of the Somerset Street houses, which were demolished when the new Court House was built. Mr: Lamb was President of the Suffolk Savings Bank for forty-one years, and of the New England Bank for nearly as long a period.
William Barton Rogers (1804-1882), geologist and savant, was a resident of Temple Place in the "six- ties." He was a native of Philadelphia, and came to Boston in 1853. Within a few years thereafter he became interested in a scheme for technical education, and largely as a result of his enterprise and zeal, the
278

TREMONT STREET NEIGHBORS
Massachusetts Institute of Technology was founded, and he became its first President.
Thomas Coffin Amory, the younger (1812-1889), Harvard, 1830, Counselor-at-Law, and a neighbor of Mr. Rogers, was a member of the Massachusetts Leg- islature, an Alderman of Boston, and President of the Board of Trustees of the City Hospital.
Among the goodly number of citizens who sus- tained the reputation of this neighborhood for respec- tability, were Josiah Bradlee, a prominent merchant who occupied a house on the north corner of Tremont Street (where now stands the fine building of Messrs. R. H. Stearns and Company ) ; Samuel Cabot, M.D., an able Surgeon, and Fellow of the American Acad- emy; and Nathaniel Hooper, who removed about 1857 from 17 Temple Place to lower Beacon Street, which then was becoming a popular residential district.
Another Temple Place resident was the Reverend Alexander Hamilton Vinton, M.D., S.T.D. (1807- 1881), Rector of Saint Paul's Church, Boston, for fourteen years, and afterward rector of Emmanuel Church. He had also the charge of parishes in Phil- adelphia and New York, and was one of the most influential among his contemporary clerical brethren of the Episcopal Church. .
The residence of Dr. George Hayward (1791-
279
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL SITE
1862), Harvard, 1809, was on the premises now oc- cupied by the firm of Melvin and Badger, Druggists. He was a son of Dr. Lemuel Hayward, a surgeon in the American Army during the Revolution, who lived opposite the White Horse Tavern. Dr. George Hay- ward was Professor of Clinical Surgery in the Har- vard Medical School, and one of the best known prac- titioners of his time.
The Haymarket and Vicinity
T OWARD the close of the eighteenth century the Haymarket occupied considerable space between Tremont and Mason Streets, including the land where- on Colonnade Row was built in 1811. This land was originally a part of the Common. On the south cor- ner of Tremont and West Streets, now occupied by the Lawrence Building, stood a wooden, barnlike structure containing the Town Hay Scales; and be- hind it, on Mason Street, was a military laboratory. This latter building was afterward occupied as a car- riage manufactory by the firm of Frothingham, Wheeler and Jacobs. The public whipping-post, which was formerly on State Street, stood at one time near the site of the West Street gate of the Common. Close by were the pillory and stocks, which were mov-
280

able, being placed on wheels. They were used as a , means of enforcing attendance at church, and as a punishment for various misdemeanors.1
The Haymarket Theatre was built in 1796 on the southern part of the Haymarket, near Boylston Street, where the Tremont Theatre now stands. It was a huge, unsightly pile, somewhat after the soap- box style of architecture; and although it was claimed to be the most spacious and convenient theater in America, it was a constant menace to the neighboring · buildings on account of its liability to take fire.
The first Boston Theatre, on the corner of Frank- lin and Federal Streets, had been opened about two years before, and the alleged motives for building a new theater were political intrigue and animosities. In 1796 intense partizan feeling and rivalry existed between the Federalists and members of the Jacobin party; and there existed also much jealousy and bit- terness among the managers and stockholders of the two theaters. "The presence of a supporter of the old theater at the Haymarket was regarded as a dis- loyal act. The rivalry continued until February 2, 1798, when the Boston Theatre was destroyed by fire." 2

The new Play-house had a large auditorium, three tiers of boxes, and also a gallery and drawing-room. It was under the management of Charles Stuart Powell, an actor formerly connected with the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, London, and for a time man- ager of the Federal Street Theatre in Boston. The "Haymarket" was never a success financially, and the building was taken down in 1803.
The lanes and pastures of the old South End of Boston have long since disappeared. No vestige of its rural aspect remains. Business blocks and de- partment stores surround Saint Paul's Cathedral, and cover the site of the Washington Gardens. But the Common is a sacred tract, to be preserved as a de- lightful heritage from the founders of the Colony; and the fair acres of the ancient Centry Field, ever a source of pride and interest to the citizens, will con- tinue to be guarded with jealous care as one of the most famous of historic pleasure grounds.
