Does anyone have any information on how well these townhouses are constructed or if there have been any problems with them through the years? How about heating and cooling? Is it more expensive because of the cathedral ceilings? Thanks!

Hi Karen ~ $65K – those were the days!

Liz — A friend of mine bought an end unit on Oxford St. in the early ’70’s — for $65K, if I remember correctly. I helped him finish the basement and it became a rental unit. I recall staining the rough ceiling boards, then helping to put them up. I duplicated that in my own livingroom in Vt. many years ago. Now, I can’t recall how we thinned the stain and whether it was a semi-transparent stain or a solid one, and I’d like to contact Doug Bell, since I think we just followed his directions at the time. Do you have an email address for him?

And is that the Brian Miller of Channel 1 fame?

Thanks Brian! I was surprised too to find out how many Bell and Fandetti buildings are scattered around Cambridge. They really have a wonderful feel – we toured one at Lilac Court this week and I was reminded again how appealing they are. Your photos are great.

Hi — Just wanted to say I enjoyed this page and appreciate your work documenting these neighborhoods. And nice website, by the way.

My wife and I have lived in a Bell and Fandetti since 1992 and thought we knew most of the B&F constructions in Cambridge, but apparently not really. We do love our house, which is tucked away (of course) on Mt Auburn between Athens and Banks.
