The Samuel Edelman Apartments are a historic multifamily residential building at 97-103 Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It was built about 1908, during a period of major residential development of the area, and is a good example of Colonial Revival architecture in brick and stone. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
Description and history
The Samuel Edelman Apartments are located in a mainly residential area of Dorchester, on the north side of Norfolk Street between Elmhurst and Darling Streets. It is a single building, three stories in height, organized with four entrances placed pairwise in surrounds flanked by projecting rounded bays. The exterior is mainly brick, with a stone water table, stone corner quoining, sills and lintels, and stone entrance surrounds. Each section of the building houses three residential units, one on each floor.[2]
The apartment block was probably built about 1908, when an occupancy permit was issued for its addresses. During this period there was a broad migration into the more residential areas of Dorchester from the densely populated neighborhoods of Boston's North and West Ends, and the city of Chelsea. Although a significant portion of this migration was Jewish, census records show that most of this building's early occupants were from a diversity of backgrounds, and it is not until a second wave of Jewish migration in the 1930s that its occupancy was mainly Jewish. Most of the occupants had middle-class occupations.[2]
