First of all, I have to admit that I have a special affinity for this town’s particular street. After all, I grew up on this street, and decades later I returned to reside on this street.
It was so named back in 1863, when the town was surveyed, because in essence it contained numerous “cottages” and became the town’s first residential district. In the 1870s, one could call the street, the town’s religious row. The town’s first two churches were built there, and depicted in the above photograph. The first church built was the Congregational Church, followed shortly thereafter by the Methodist Church.
