Andrée
and Richard
live in a 150 year old
house in 15 Bracebridge Road, Newton Centre, MA
It has a fine garden which is
Andrée's pride and joy
and won here the
mayor's beautification cup for 2004. The area is
called "Jolly's Hollow", after a man called Jolly who had three
attractive daughters and rented the house in the 1900s. The
hill goes down to pond which used to be
filled with water draining from Crystal Lake, but dried up after the
Sudbury aqueduct was built. The hill down to the hollow was the
location for many sledding parties. This is shown
in the following three photographs.
On the left is the front view of the house (which faces
south); in the
middle is a fine camperdown elm at the end of the driveway, and at the
right a view of the house from the "hollow" (looking east)
The
aqueducts
Two aqueducts pass under the land on
either side of the house. These
used to bring water to Boston. On the north is the Cochituate
aqueduct
built in 1847 (before the house was built) and on the south is the
Sudbury aqueduct built about 1870. To the east the Cochituate
aqueduct passes to the north of the playground and disappears under
Commonweath Avenue. The Sudbury aqueduct passes under Tyler
Terrace and disappears under various private properties.
Both ended up at the pumping stations at Chestnut Hill reservoir.
It is possible to walk along
the
top of these aqueducts westward many miles to the Cochituate reservoir
and the Sudbury reservoir in Framingham. These
walks are described in the website of the
Newton
Conservators.
