That sounds like a good question for the Cambridge Historical Commission. They have excellent resource files on most older Cambridge buildings.

Is there any info on the bas-relief sculptured lintels above the engine doors? It is clearly socialist-realist in style, but I’ve just spent a 1/2 hour googling it and can’t find a name for the sculptor!

Thanks so much for stopping by and explaining more about the Blevins family in Cambridge. The number of buildings designed by Newhall and Blevins in Cambridge is really amazing. What a legacy they left! I plan to do a post soon about another one of theirs that I came across in Cambridgeport during the If This House Could Talk event.

Albert H. Blevins was my great uncle. My father, Albert was the proprietor of John J. Blevins, Roofer on Austin Street in Cambridge. He succeeded his father John A. Blevins, brother of Albert H. in the firm. My brother Clayton C. Blevins was inspired by his great uncle and attended the Rhode Island School of Design.

I knew of the firm of Newhall and Blevins but never realized the extent of their work in Cambridge until my daughter Anne M. Blevins, attending an architectural class at Harvard, told me of the fire station in Inman Square and other buildings they had designed.
