Roxbury residential development is described by the Boston Globe.

October 14, 1897

A story notes that, “The apartment house is becoming more popular every day. More people are giving up the care of a big house than they are of flats for the reason that the trouble in caring for a flat is comparatively light as to the work in a whole house. Many of these improved houses are being erected in Roxbury either on the sites of old structures or on vacant land.”
