Place: James Michael Curley House
Address: 350 The Jamaicaway
Neighborhood: Jamaica Plain
Walking along Jamaica Pond on October 28, 2013, I found the house of James Michael Curley. To visit, ride bus route 39 or 41 to get to Hyde Square. Then walk west on Perkins Street to get to the Jamaicaway.
"For more than 40 years this was the home of four-term mayor, Massachusetts Governor and U.S. Congressman James Michael Curley (1874-1958). The window shutters' shamrock cutouts proclaim his Irish heritage. The house was designed by Joseph McGinnis in 1915. In 1988 the George Robert White Fund purchased the house for the enjoyment of the people of Boston."
