Fireplaces at 37 Lancaster Street, Cambridge
Decorative Fireback in a Fireplace at 37 Lancaster Street
The Yerxa-Field House at 37 Lancaster Street in Cambridge, MA has 10 fireplaces. The house was built in 1888 and the fireplaces are beautiful examples of Victorian style tile, masonry, and woodwork.
Every fireplace is different – the tiles or stone vary, a variety of woods are used and some of the detail is handcarved, there are handsome decorative firebacks like the one you see here, and amazing andirons that in many cases match the light fixtures in the room. It’s very hard to pick a favorite!
The Yerxa-Field House at 37 Lancaster Street, Cambridge, MA 02140 is listed with John Petrowski and Christian Jones of Hammond Real Estate for $4,495,000.
71 Fulkerson Street Cambridge – Spring Condos
Condos at 71 Fulkerson St, Cambridge Mass
The condos at 63-71 Fulkerson Street, Cambridge – the Spring Condominiums – were created in 1987.
Cambridge real estate buyers will appreciate the proximity to Kendall Square, MIT, the Red Line and the Green Line, and the Galleria Mall. There is convenient access from this side of the city to Memorial Drive, Storrow Drive, Route 93, Boston, and Logan Airport.
History of 71 Fulkerson St. Cambridge MA
There are four townhouses and 34 units in a reclaimed brick factory building. All the marketing that I’ve seen for the complex refers to the building as a “former barrel factory”. The Goepper Brothers established their barrel manufacturing business on Ninth Street – the former name of Fulkerson Street – in 1882. The factory buildings were, if not at #71, right next door. It was a large and successful operation.
Records suggest, however, that 71 Fulkerson was built in 1920 as a warehouse building for the Revere Sugar Refinery.

Local Luxury Home Builder Is Tough As Nails
Newton Home Built by Tough as Nails builder Cindy Stumpo
Tonight’s the premiere of HGTV’s new show “Tough As Nails” featuring Massachusetts luxury home builder Cindy Stumpo.
Stumpo’s company, C. Stumpo Development, builds multi-million dollar houses in Greater Boston, many in Newton and Brookline.
With the show that WGBH’s Emily Rooney described as “This Old House Meets Jersey Shore” and a star characterized as the “sassy builder of haute homes” I’ll bet HGTV has a winner on its hands. I know I’ll be watching.
The half-hour show premieres tonight on HGTV at 9:30 pm and repeats at 12:30 am.
Here are a few homes, new homes and resales, built by Stumpo currently on the market. Click on the small photo to see additional photos and more information:
