Learn about Somerville's historic buildings with local educator Rob Ambrose.

Did you know that the dilapidated apartment building at 221 East High Street used to be an all-seasons resort with a casino, or that the houses at 77 & 79 North Gaston Avenue used to be a single mansion located where Codington Place now is?  Local educator Rob Ambrose has been researching these properties and several others in East Somerville for over a decade.
