New Life for Edward Everett Square
in Dorchester Boston

Edward Everett Square in Dorchester is an intersection of six main roads and a strategic connecting point between many places in the Boston area. It is also a place rich in history. Blake House, the oldest house in Boston and the oldest of its kind in America, is now located near the square about 400 yards from where it was built in 1650. The square is named after the outstanding 19th century statesman and orator, Edward Everett, who was born here. Also nearby is the birthplace and residence of John W. McCormack, distinguished member of Congress from 1928 to 1971 and Speaker of the House from 1962 to 1971.

The square has also been the site of the distinctive triangular building built in the late 1920s as an auto dealership and for many years a local landmark. About ten years ago another two floors were added to the building, but full construction was never finished. This building has now been purchased by Living Stream Ministry for joint use with a local Christian congregation, Church in Boston.

Living Stream Ministry and Church in Boston are pleased to announce their intention to completely renovate this landmark building for the joint uses of both organizations. It is our sincere desire and hope that this building, when finished, will further enhance the overall improvements at Edward Everett Square, which many of our neighbors have been working on for years.

Construction is expected to begin soon and to be completed by the end of 2011.
