Woolf Home Garage
29 Pine Street



The automobile garage at the home of Anna R. Woolf at 29 Pine Street is set back from the street in the courtyard of her home. The house, 29A Pine Street, was photographed separately. One of the assessor's crew is examining the garage.

This neighborhood off Longfellow Square had been spared the Great Fire of 1866 and was, by 1924, a mix of Yankees and newcomers.

Later in 1924, Angie O. and Hollie Burrill, a retail meat dealer from Canaan, moved into the home. Neighbors included Everett Cook, a real estate dealer, and his wife, Abbie, who ran a lodging house; William G. Terris, a freight train conductor; and Widgery Thomas, clerk in a prominent law firm.
