10-14 Remington Street – History
10-14 Remington Street was built in the Tudor Revival style in 1910. The three story apartment building, named Remington Gables, was designed by architects Newhall and Blevins whose many other Cambridge buildings include 10 Dana Street and 8-10 Avon Street .
The building was featured in the December 1921 issue of The Architectural Record in an article entitled “Tendencies in Apartment House Design: Open Court Types.” The author noted that the building’s ells in a back to back U/E shape “provide the tenants as much cross draft and exposure as they could expect to secure in a private house.”

61 Garfield St Cambridge – Neighborhood Info

It runs from Mass Ave to Oxford Street midway between Porter Square and Harvard Square in the Agassiz neighborhood.
