Walk up to Bynner Street and turn right.
16 Bynner Street
This house dates to about 1871 and was the home of Leonard William Hyde (the son of Leonard and grandson of Jerusha). It is a modest Italianate house which has been much altered in recent years. This house was not built here, but moved to this location. It was formerly located at 88 Day Street and was moved in 1906.
Bynner Street takes an odd jog just here. Originally there were two small dead end streets (Priesing Street which came off from Creighton and Hyde Street which ran off Day Street). Eventually these two were joined as an extension of Bynner Street, but the connection is a bit disjointed.
Continue on Bynner, crossing Day Street. Stop as you walk along the brick wall.
33 Bynner Street
This house dates to 1813 or perhaps a bit earlier. It was built for a farmer named Jonathan Smith, who supplied produce to Boston. It is a plain farmhouse in the Federal style.
47 Bynner Street
This is another Hyde family house, which was also moved to its present location from Day Street. It is another Federal style house with a side entry – note the lovely fanlight window over the door.
51 Bynner Street
Here is yet another old farmhouse that has been changed considerably by the addition of siding. These modest farmhouses were the type of dwellings that dotted Jamaica Plain in the early 1800s before the advent of transportation and industry changed the neighborhood.
Walk down to South Huntington Avenue and take a right. There is a bench here if you need a break!
