The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) has converted this paper record to digital format as part of ongoing projects to scan
records of the Inventory of Historic Assets of the Commonwealth and National Register of Historic Places nominations for
Massachusetts. Efforts are ongoing and not all inventory or National Register records related to this resource may be available in
digital format at this time.
The MACRIS database and scanned files are highly dynamic; new information is added daily and both database records and
related scanned files may be updated as new information is incorporated into MHC files. Users should note that there may be a
considerable lag time between the receipt of new or updated records by MHC and the appearance of related information in
MACRIS. Users should also note that not all source materials for the MACRIS database are made available as scanned images.
Users may consult the records, files and maps available in MHC's public research area at its offices at the State Archives Building,
220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, open M-F, 9-5.

This listin, bui i.:_in is oz.:. u. three strcture:; 1�ze:.;?;itly owned. by Robert Reed
ana packed close together on Bridge Street, (see forms 1 2370 238). Now they
constitute a series of antique stores and storage, but prior, after they were moved
from elsewhere in town, they served many functions.
The land on which this building sits was, during the later 1800's, the site cSf
F`redexick A. Baker's horiestead and livery, (see form ix 234). IIere perhaps is where
this building comer' from; it may have been a stable or a shed. The fact that it
tilts so radically indicates its ancient beginnings and althouZh the front facade
leas been drastically altered by a large Pict-uxe window, it never -the -less maintains
an aye old flavor.
