A Close-up of Huron Avenue
We always say, Everyone is a history ambassador. “A Close-up of Huron Avenue” shows just how true that is, no matter how old—or young—you are.
Around 1980, Fayerweather Street School students, ages eight to eleven, conducted a five-month study of their neighborhood. At that time, the school was located at 74R Fayerweather Street (it moved to its current location, 765 Concord Avenue, in 1999).
The students’ resulting report, “A Close-up of Huron Avenue,” is now a historical document stored in our archives.
In their introduction, the students wrote, “Besides interviewing older people in the neighborhood, we conducted interviews with shopkeepers, customers, and people on the street.”
