Talk:Tory Row

Brattle Street's Tory Row

Don't Merge (At least not yet). It has been proposed that this article be merged into the Brattle Street article. Tory Row is the nickname of a section of Brattle Street that has its own unique history and architecture. Brattle Street includes not only the colonial architecture of Tory Row but also Harvard's original the Episcopal Divinity School, a lot of interesting Victorian architecture, and the Modernist landmark of the old Design Research building. I created the Brattle Street article after the Tory Row one because I kept finding more good stuff I did not want to leave out. I would like to keep the two stubs separate and work on both for a while. That way, the fact that there is a lot more to say about Tory Row than about other aspects of Brattle Street won't overbalance the new article. betsythedevine (talk) 18:28, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, one of the houses on "Tory Row" does not have a Brattle Street address. It seems that although some people use Tory Row for a short segment of Brattle Street which includes very miscellaneous architecture, others reserve it for the seven Colonial mansions of that era, at least one of which doesn't have a Brattle Street address. betsythedevine (talk) 19:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

No pressure from here, just a friendly suggestion. Nice work on both articles—thanks. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words -- and for thinking about what would work here. betsythedevine (talk) 04:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
