1868 Church organized, Chapel opened at Washington and Court Streets

Clemens had lectured on 19 November 1869 for “the benefit of a Benevolent Educational Enterprise” in Jamaica Plain, a suburb of Boston which, after the coming of the railroad and industrial development to adjacent areas, was in the 1870s an “upper middle class residential settlement” (“Unique Entertainment by Mark Twain,” Boston Evening Transcript, 13 Nov 69, 1; Warner, 41–42).

Known as Salem Village in the 17th century, there are still over a dozen houses in Danvers dating from that era, many associated with the witchcraft tragedy of 1692. Becoming independent from Salem in 1752, Danvers witnessed the development of various neighborhood villages, each having its era of prominence, and possessing a unique character.

The building had a few different uses. The downstairs held businesses from clothing to insurance. It was on the corner of Lackawanna and Penn Ave. The theater hosted a variety of shows from art exhibits to theater.

Charlestown is the oldest neighborhood within the city of Boston, Massachusetts, United States.[1] Originally called Mishawum by the Massachusett tribe, it is located on a peninsula north of the Charles River, across from downtown Boston, and also adjoins the Mystic River and Boston Harbor waterways. Charlestown was laid out in 1629 by engineer Thomas Graves, one of its earliest settlers, in the reign of Charles I of England.

Trinity Church (1735-1872) was an Episcopal church in Boston, Massachusetts, located on Summer Street.[1] It housed Boston's third Anglican congregation. The Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the church building, and by 1877 the congregation moved into a new building in Back Bay.

Despite the bickering over location, the city purchased several lots between 1854 and 1857 near the corner of Dorrance and Washington streets. The purchase of the assembled lots–now called the “City Hall Lot”–did little to end the controversy. With plans for a City Hall stalled, in 1864 the site was leased to C.N. Harrington who constructed a two-story wood frame theater there.
