    Default Help needed finding architectural plans for this Boston Edison home

    I Have family restoring his home in BE. Desperately need to find copies of original architectural drawings. Any help with identifying the architect/firm and where these drawings can be located would be greatly appreciated. I believe this home was built in 1922, and is located in the 2200 block of W. Boston Blvd. Thank you -Ken Name:  052.jpg

    Good luck with that. Best you might be able to do is find out who the architect was and maybe a photo in some contemporary architectural digest of the era. Try to find the original owners name in the Burton Historical Collection city directory.
    While you're at the Burton search through the Free Press pro quest archive for "news of the architect". It may be listed there. Google the owners name and dig deep. Most of the time plans are not online, but who knows with this joint. If you're really desperate you'd find the descendants of the previous owners of the home [[Ancestry.com and a lot of sleuthing) and see if one of them has drawings.

    So why do you desparately need these drawings? If the house had been changed a decent architect could walk through and point those changes out just through observation and experience.

    What is the address? Here it is on Google street view but Google only offers a range of numbers.
