(Part of the Then and Now Series)

By Anthony Mitchell Sammarco

Once referred to as the Suburb Superb, Roslindale was at one time part of the town of West Roxbury, which had been set off from Roxbury in 1851. The rapid development of Roslindale, which was annexed to the city of Boston in 1874 and was then known as the South Street District, was largely due to the Boston and Providence Railroad and the streetcars that connected the area to Forest Hills Station. By the twentieth century, Roslindale had developed as a distinctive neighborhood that attracted residents of all walks of life, with dells and valleys reminiscent of Roslin, Scotland, from which it received its name. Roslindale chronicles the growth of this neighborhood from the birth of photography through today by combining vintage images with modern photographs of Roslindale Square, Washington Street, and noteworthy buildings and businesses.

Great history of one of Boston's best neighborhoods!

Roslindale is Boston's best kept secret and for those "in the know", this is an indespensible book. Great pbotos, and an interesting history to go with it. Someday the rest of Boston will realize the 'jewel' it has in Roslindale - this may do the trick!

Comprehensively researched and entertainingly presented

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 21, 1998

Well researched and documented with incredible photographs going back to the turn of the century. I saw the town where I grew up "way back when". I've always been fascinated by history and wished I could travel back in time and see familiar places as they once looked - this book provided the "magic carpet" to do just that. I received this book as a Christmas gift and spent hours poring over it. It has become a treasured...
