owners/occupants played within the community. From Form B of 1980: “This 2 ½ story, late 19th century house was built on two lots of J.W. Hubbard’s subdivision. Hubbard was a market
gardener who lived on Bridge Street. In 1891, he filed a plan to subdivide most of homestead into residential lots. In 1900, the plan was modified by adding a cross street. Today, the
subdivision encompasses Hubbard Avenue and Marshall, Swan and Crosby Streets. The house at 50 Hubbard Avenue was the first to be constructed in the subdivision, and occupies a commanding
site on a corner lot uphill from most of the rest of the subdivision.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John
