Mattoon St. can be found just west of The Quadrangle (see other post) and was developed in the period 1870-1890. The Victorian row houses are spectacular, especially the bow front houses designed by local architects Perkins & Gardner. Rev. William Faunce lived at #17 before becoming president of Brown University. The North Congregational Church (now the Hispanic Baptist Church) was built in 1872 and designed by Henry Hobson Richardson. The brownstone edifice features a 150-ft tower and Tiffany window and is one of the most important landmarks of Springfield. Elliot St., cater-corner to Mattoon St. features the Technical High School (1905) now under rehabilitation, designed by Eugene & George Gardner.Sunday, September 18, 2011
