The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), Cambridge water-works. (search)
asked for by the Water Board, and that without its hearty cooperation nothing could have been done, for the Water Board could spend no money until it had obtained authority from the city council. I have thus endeavored to set forth a few of the salient points in the history of our water-works. I have never before had a chance to inform so many on this subject, and never expect another such opportunity. Fresh Pond was ceded to the city of Cambridge by the Commonwealth for a reservoir in 1888, with power to take all the land and buildings around the pond for the purpose of preserving the purity of the water. Under this act the city has taken about 170 acres, and removed all buildings therefrom. The pond contains 160 acres, and a fine driveway has been constructed all around its borders, nearly three miles long. With the water area and land taken, this makes a fine water park of 330 acres. The surroundings of the park are being graded and laid out in an artistic way, beautifying

I may safely assert, she continues, that among these college students were the healthiest women, both physically and mentally, that I have ever met. This emphatic testimony is supported by the experience of Radcliffe College. Our record closes as the third stage in the history of Radcliffe o

nd. Other churches have been formed, three in Cambridgeport and one in North Cambridge, and there are thus six Congregational churches in the city. The history of the Roman Catholic churches will be written by another hand. But it is fitting here also to recognize the Catholic clergymen who have been prominent as useful citizens, and especially those who have joined with their Protestant neighbors in the no license movement, which has been so marked a feature of our municipal life. In 1888 the services of the New Jerusalem Church were established in Cambridge, and not long after the theological school of that church was removed here. The school is well placed upon Quincy Street. In its chapel there are public services on Sunday, in the care of Rev. Theodore F. Wright, Ph. D., professor and dean of the school. The First United Presbyterian Church holds its services in a chapel in Inman Square, and the Reformed Presbyterian Church in a hall on Massachusetts Avenue. The Union

East and Christian Union In October, 1875, Mr. W. G. Clapp began missionary work in the easterly part of Cambridgeport, and established the next year a Sunday-school, which gradually increased. In order to build a suitable hall for the enlarging work, a fair was held in 1888, and about $2000 was raised. The present corporation was formed in 1889. Mr. John H. Walker became superintendent of the Sunday-school in 1890. The building was erected in 1891 at a cost of about $4000, and is free from debt. In September, 1892, it was decided that the Union should be kept open day and evening, and that a superintendent should be employed to devote his whole time to the work at the building and in the neighborhood. Mr. Walker was secured to fill this position, and the result has been a steady increase of the usefulness of the Union. In January, 1896, a gymnasium, bath-room, and workshop were established in the adjacent building. The Union building is located on Brewery Street, in Cam

Keeler & Co. opened their large retail warerooms at Nos. 81 to 91 Washington Street, leaving Mr. Geldowsky in charge of the manufacturing business. In 1888 Messrs. Keeler & Co. again took control of the factory, Mr. Geldowsky continuing in their employ until his death in July, 1890. During the past ten years they haval brick building erected, with a number of reconstructed outbuildings. The enterprise, which had grown to require two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in 1888, was now incorporated in Massachusetts, with three hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash capital. In 1892 adjoining land was bought, and a new and larger mill w
