The old Anderson farmhouse
stands atop the upper plateau above the Little and Senior League baseball
fields. Built in the 1800's, and used as a temporary recreation center,
this 76 year old landmark burned to the ground in 1971. For many decades,
the Anderson family farmed the surrounding hillsides. The Anderson Farm
once stretched from Breining Street to Brookline Boulevard, encompassing
20 acres. Many who grew up in the 50s, 60s and 70s may remember the
abundance of apple and pear trees that lined the road leading to the
house.
