Excerpt from John Richardson: His House and Garden Having been requested to prepare a notice of my friend the late Mr. John Richardson, and his garden, for the Transactions of the Society, I undertook the writing with pleasure, as it seemed that some adequate description should go on record of this remarkable man, his interesting house and garden, all now a memory only, for their material presence is a thing of the past.

Excerpt from John Richardson: His House and Garden Having been requested to prepare a notice of my friend the late Mr. John Richardson, and his garden, for the Transactions of the Society, I undertook the writing with pleasure, as it seemed that some adequate description should go on record of this remarkable man, his interesting house and garden, all now a memory only, for their material presence is a thing of the past. He was a rare old man, it was a rare old house, and a rare old garden, and it was my privilege to know them intimately. The Olivers who in colonial times built and lived in the old Richardson, or Everett house, as it is usually called, were inti mately associated with the owners of many famous old houses in Cambridge and Medford, so that some account of these houses and their owners is also given. I would express my warm thanks to kind friends who have given me information, especially Mrs. Alonzo Prouty, a relative of Mr. Richardson's; Mrs. C. R. Howard; and Henry M. Spelman, Esq., of Cambridge, who sought in the Registry of Deeds for facts in regard to the Lowell and other lands. A list of obituary notices of Mr. Richardson, and references made use of, is given at the end of this paper.
