Harding House-Walker Missionary Home The Harding House-Walker Missionary Home is a historic house at 161–163 Grove Street in the Auburndale village of Newton, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1850, and is a well-preserved example of Italianate styling. It was built for Rev. Sewell Harding, a significant early speculator in Auburndale real estate. Harding sold the house in the 1860s; after serving as a dormitory for Lasell Junior College for several decades, it was acquired in 1925 by the Walker Home for Missionary Children, an organization established by Harding's daughter, Eliza Walker.
Woodbridge Street Historic District The Woodbridge Street Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in South Hadley, Massachusetts. It extends from the junction of Woodbridge Street and Silver Street north roughly to Woodbridge Terrace. The majority of buildings in the district are houses that were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the more notable properties is the Skinner Museum of nearby Mount Holyoke College, which is located in the former Prescott, Massachusetts congregational church. The 19th century Greek Revival church was relocated here by philanthropist Joseph Allen Skinner in the 1930s when the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir necessitated the unincorporation of the small town.
