Neighborhood: Jamaica Plain
On April 10, 2012 and November 4, 2013, I visited Stony Brook. Near here is the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood House. To visit the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood House, ride the Orange Line to Stony Brook and walk out to Amory Street.
"This 1890s clubhouse has significant historical associations with Jamaica Plain's late 19th and early 20th century history. In 1899 an unusual façade of Renaissance Revival/Neo-Adamesque style was added, probably designed by Jamaica Plain carpenter John Albrecht, president of a German music club housed here at the time. Its most important period began in 1919 when it was purchased by the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood House Association, which provided vocational training, English classes and after school programs here until the building was sold in the 1990s."
