15 Trowbridge St Cambridge MA – History
15 Trowbridge St was originally built in 1899 as a three-story six-unit apartment building. It was one of many Cambridge buildings of the period designed by Boston architect John Hasty.
Some of the other Hasty buildings in Cambridge that are now condominiums include the Newport Road condos, the Washingtonian at Washington Ave and Linnaean Streets, and The Lowell at 33 Lexington Ave.
The six large apartments were eventually split and today there are twelve units in the building plus an additional unit in the lower level. After many years as rentals, in 2005 the apartments were converted to condominiums and sold.
