A Pinch of History on 25 Clyde, Somerville's Brick Ole' Place

From humble beginnings sharing a hip-pocket with brick-bloke neighbors, to today's luxury hideaway, old 25's share a tale tale of humor and time, mate.

Stashed in the heart of Somerville, Massachusetts, at 25 Clyde Street, there's an old house that's seen more than its share. Placed in around 1850 in the cacophony of brickyards, it was built with leftover bricks – always economizing, you dig? It's like knowing the cloak of finery is for the birds. In 1989, this crumb on the National Register of Historic Places kicked up its heels, but it didn't slow that old clock's tick. By the May of 2014, this antique beauty had been reimagined into a plush, 3-unit condo, and the quaint backyard shed had evaporated faster than you can say 'smashing!'
