This house at 105 Adin Street (shown here from the Mendon Street side) was originally the home of Bristow and Queena Draper. Bristow was disowned by his family when he married Queena in 1907. Eventually he was forgiven, went to work at Draper Corporation, and became president of the company in 1929. Click on the picture to read about Bristow and Queena.
