Home / Explore History / House & Building History / A Page for Home Builders articles (1923-1928)

Between 1923 and 1928, an unknown author wrote a series of historical features on local homes for the Weekly Review, a precursor to the present-day Beverly Review newspaper. These articles provide a wonderful glimpse into the interior details of homes built during this time, though several older homes are also profiled.
