Location?[edit]

The coordinates for this site are currently listed as 42°20′53″N 71°4′7″W / 42.34806°N 71.06861°W / 42.34806; -71.06861. Google Maps puts this location on Marginal Rd. between Arlington and Tremont, and thinks that 1 Bay St. is in Dorchester, closer to 42°18′41″N 71°03′27″W / 42.311325°N 71.057558°W / 42.311325; -71.057558. I'm removing the coordinates currently on the article; if someone can identify a source for them, please do. —Tim Pierce (talk) 04:46, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The MACRIS listing for this property indicates it is in Bay Village (i.e. the Marginal Road location, not Dorchester). link. Google Maps is not always to be trusted. Magic♪piano 16:09, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Bay Village house has an NRHP plaque on it. Magic♪piano 21:36, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The old coordinates weren't actually too far off -- about 25 meters to the west, which is pretty typical for NRHP listings. (I believe older NRHP listings all used NAD27 coordinates, which are significantly different from WGS84.) But I have located the house in Google Street View imagery of Bay Village, and added some better coordinates. —Steve Summit (talk) 14:27, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
