| Publisher Description: With Roslindale, Boston historian Anthony Mitchell Sammarco chronicles the development and evolution of this historic Boston neighborhood in over two hundred black-and-white images coupled with detailed and informative photograph captions. Originally known as South Street Crossing, Roslindale was once a part of Roxbury and later the Town of West Roxbury. The neighborhood was named Roslin by one of its early citizens after a fondly remembered Scottish town whose rolling hills evoked comparison with those of this area. In this volume, both gradual and radical changes in Roslindale s landscape and architecture are documented in images culled from the archives of the Roslindale Branch of the Boston Public Library as well as numerous private collections." |
