Ralph Horne History: Thirty years ago, in 1975, our neighbor, Ralph Horne, wrote a history of the South End. Ralph, who is a long time resident of Wellington Street, never published his work, but has graciously allowed CNA to print excerpts of it on our Web site for the delight and education of our readers. We will be publishing installments over the coming months.

For the first installment, January of 2005, here is Ralph's architectural "history within history."

Here is the second installment, May of 2005.

Now, here is Ralph's "Hollywood Comes to Wellington Street."  Enjoy!

We'll be adding more pieces from the Ralph Horne History. Please check back!
