Hi Anne,
I live in one of the worker’s dwelling houses for the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. My house was built circa 1827 and is one of the earlier examples.
Harbor St., State St., Church St., Freeman and Canary St. are in the earlier section of Jarvesville in Sandwich and may be of interest to you. Later examples of small Greek Revival style houses are also in this neighborhood. I’d be happy to show you around if you are interested in coming for a visit.
Kind regards,
Lisa

> Tale of Two Cities: Pioneering Women Architects in Providence and Boston
>
> Join Historic New England on Thursday, May 27 at 5:30 pm for an online lecture on Tale of Two Cities: Pioneering Women Architects in Providence and Boston. Despite limitations, hundreds of women across the country entered the architecture profession before being given the right to vote in 1920. Although they designed thousands of buildings, many of these trailblazing women's names are still not well known. Join Rachel Robinson, Providence Preservation Society's director of preservation, and Leigh Schoberth, Historic New England's senior preservation services manager, for an introduction to several women who practiced in Providence and Boston at the beginning of the twentieth century. Explore how Frances Henley, Margaret Burnham Geddes, Lois Lilley Howe, and Eleanor Raymond influenced architecture through innovative designs in planning, education, and sustainability.

There are 11 cottages really close together on Hart Street and 5 cottages really close together on Franklin Court. Are there any other clusters of workman's cottages in Massachusetts? I gather there are some cottages near the old glass factory in Sandwich. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarvesville_Historic_District Could someone give me a street name for these cottages? Those cottages would have been built by the glass company to house their workers. The houses on Hart and Franklin were moved in 1870 to these streets to be owned by Irish Catholic workers or rented to them. Eventually, all the houses were owned. Many single women owned the houses, widows remained in the cottages for a long time, and houses were passed down from family to family. With so many wealthy mansions already being listed and the threat of smaller homes being demolished to build McMansions, saving the humble cottages and telling the stories about the owners is worth the effort.
