Leonard Hyde
From HistoricHydeSquare
The last of the Hyde family in Jamaica Plain was Leonard Hyde, a 19th century merchant whose house still stands at 16 Bynner Street. Hyde is buried in Forest Hills Cemetery.
The Hyde family once owned the land that is now the site of the MSPCA Angell Animal Hospital at the corner of Centre Street, Perkins Street, and Day Street. Several Hyde family houses were located on that parcel over the years. The section of Bynner Street heading east from Day Street was once known as Hyde Street.
Leonard Hyde's house was originally located at 88 Day Street and was moved to make way for the Halsey Homestead Sites subdivision.
