This blog will feature historic buildings from throughout Massachusetts, although right now the focus is on Boston, Cambridge and Salem. I hope to make more excursions from Connecticut (where I live) to other towns in Massachusetts. Until then, I will occasionally update the site with pics I have from earlier visits. This site’s companion blog, Historic Buildings of Connecticut, is updated much more frequently.

Hi,

Is it possible?It’s just for my Phd thesis. I will credit you, of course.
Thank you,

Hello,
The association 40m3 in co edition with the Brittany Contemporary Art Collection is setting up the publication of a book about Benoit Marie Moriceau’s work named “Psycho”.
The publication theme will be an artwork that he realized last year here in Rennes, France.
Mr Moriceau would like to make appear images from his preparative researches, and the photo of the Allen House is among them.
We would like to know who do we have to contact for the copyright matters.
Thank you in advance for the precious help you may give!
We are at your convenience for any question you may have in this respect.
Best regards,
Maïna Loaec
I wrote you a while ago about the Allen house picture!
You were ok to let us publish it…unfortunately, the image quality is not good enough! Could you send me a 300dpi, 5×4 inches image?
thank you a lot!!!
