District Details
According to the 1984 Parker Hill/Mission Hill Study Report, this district is eligible for National Register and Architectural Conservation listings.
This district qualifies for designation as an "intact enclave of late 1860's - early 1870's Italianate mansard houses with several lots retaining 19th century landscape features and outbuildings. In addition, Evergreen Street is bordered by good examples 1880's, 1890's single and 2-family Queen Anne residences."
The house lots on Evergreen Street were subdivided from land owned by Isaac Atwood and was known earlier as Atwood Ave (see the Maps section below). Evergreen Street was extended to meet South Huntington Ave between 1895 and 1909.
Day Street was known as Cross Street from c. 1825 to c. 1867 and was renamed for Moses Day, partner in the Sewall Day Cordage Co., a factory located at Parker and Ruggles streets on the northern side of Mission Hill. Day Street continued all the way to Heath Street until the section between Minden and Heath streets was closed for the construction of the Hennigan School in the 1960s.
