| 734/ 720/ 702 Longmeadow Street (1883) [click images to enlarge] |
The west side of Longmeadow Street at the north end of the Town Green has changed greatly over the past 140 years. The above photo (date ~ 1883) found in the Proceedings at the Centennial Celebration of the Incorporation of the Town of Longmeadow shows a different view from today's scene. Two of these homes have disappeared and been replaced as shown in the current 2024 photo below:

Most people will recognize the Brewer-Young Mansion at 734 Longmeadow Street built in 1884-85 which has recently undergone a major renovation converting a large abandoned residential property into a small business entrepreneurial center. The renovation retained a large portion of the architectural identity.
Below are some recent article describing the background of these landscape changes.
