Sweetser Park
Sweetser Park
The Cook Memorial Fountain was designed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1914.
At 81 Lessey Street is the home of Luke Sweetser. This would become the Oak Grove School in 1882. Then the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity House in 1903. The house is from 1835.
Long Hill Cemetery
Long Hill Cemetery was at 45 Sumner Avenue in Springfield. FINDGRAVE
Long Hill Cemetery existed in Springfield from about 1834 to 1911 in which year all the burials and gravestones were moved to the Oak Grove Cemetery also in Springfield. This was a Baptist burial ground that served the families around this area. The cemetery was moved in order to make room for the Sumner Avenue Elementary School. (I wrote the description used at Findagrave and that is why it is copied here.)
Ezra Osborne was at FINDAGRAVE.

Church of the Unity
Church of the Unity belonged to the Third Congregational Society. It was directly across the street from the current Springfield Central Library. It was Henry Hobson Richardson’s first work ever. Too bad that it was taken down in 1961 since he is the most influential architect in American history. It was worked on from 1866 to 1869.
In 1928 the Saint Paul’s Universalist Church merged with the Church of the Unity.
