The Memoir Project
Celebrates in Jamaica Plain
T
he Boston Elderly
Commission and
writing coaches from
Grub Street recently joined
senior writers from Jamaica
Plain for a luncheon at the
Loring-Greenough House to
celebrate the completion of
the JP session of the Memoir
Project, an eight-week-long
writing workshop. Kudos to
Joanne and Remo Palomba
for preparing a wonderful
meal for us to enjoy!
The Memoir Project has
offered similar workshops
in Charlestown, Chinatown,
East Boston, Mattapan,
Mission Hill, the North End,
Roxbury, and South Boston,
and is working their way
through every neighborhood
in the city. Participants
must be 60 years of age or
older and have an interest
in writing. Future plans
for the project include
neighborhood writing groups
and collaborations with
Boston Public Schools.

LG_Fall_09.indd 2
In May, the Bostonian Society graciously returned to the Loring-Greenough
House a group of five photo albums dating from 1860 to 1890 depicting the
Weld and Balch families of Jamaica
Plain. The albums were given to
the Bostonian Society as a longterm loan in the early 1970s by
the Tuesday Club, with Mrs. Dows
Dunham acting on its behalf. The
Club was unaware of the 35-yearold loan and enthusiastically
welcomed back the albums.

Kids Art at the LGH
by Alicia Faxon
The young people were very interested in the history
of the 250-year-old house, its inhabitants, and their
fortunes. They enjoyed seeing portraits of those who
had lived in the house, changes to the house, and
its collections. The beaded bag collection elicited
admiration, and they all enjoyed the doll collection
and the toys the young Loring children had walled up

before the Tory family left Jamaica
Plain, expecting to return. In the
Victorian bedroom, they asked “Who
was the bed for, parents or children?”
and were told that parents had the double bed and
children usually slept in a truckle bed stored beneath
the big bed. The baby cradle was a big hit with the girls,
while the boys were more interested in the cast soldiers
that had been hidden when the Lorings left the house.
They loved the early-20th-century cast-iron stove in
the kitchen and the bread oven in the kitchen wall.
“Come again, and bring your parents and friends,” we
said, as they left clutching brochures of the house’s
history and color postcards as souvenirs. We
were glad to host Kids Art and it was a great
activity for a rainy day!

a delightful and whimsical framed folk art piece
composed of individually carved wooden figures,
made by an ancestor who had never recovered from
treatment at the infamous prisoner-of-war camp
operated by the Confederates, in Andersonville.
Over 40 people flowed into the house to participate
in Appraisal Day, and the proceeds will benefit the
care and conservation of our historic collections. Look
forward to next year’s Appraisal Day, when we’ll be
sure to uncover even more astounding antique and art
discoveries right in our own back yard!

nce again, Appraisal Day at the LoringGreenough House was a fascinating and
successful event. On Saturday, June 20th,

antique items and fine art.

JP Friendship Quilt — Conclusion
This article is the last in a series describing the search for the identities of some of the ladies who made the
friendship quilt that was recently acquired by the Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club.
J
by Mark Bulger
ohn Overton Choules was born in Bristol,
England, in 1801. After training at a Baptist
divinity school, he sailed to New York City in
1824, where he served in various churches. After a time
in Newport, New Bedford (where he met and married
his wife), and Buffalo, he came to Jamaica Plain in
1843, where he became the first pastor of the First
Baptist Church.
After four years, Reverend Choules and his wife Martha
returned to Newport, where he served the rest of his
life at his former church. During his life, he wrote or
edited many books, periodicals and lectures, including
a history of the Puritans, a history of Christian
missions, a sermon on the death of his friend Daniel
Webster, and The Cruise of the Steamship North Star
– the story of an ocean-going vacation with his wealthy
friend Cornelius Vanderbilt. He died in Rhode Island in
1856, surrounded by friends and parishioners.
Of the 41 inscriptions that we can read on the quilt,
28 are Scripture and nine are prayers or hymns.
Perhaps a closer reading will allow us to infer a
particular theme from the words the ladies chose to
write on their squares. Then again, they may simply
have chosen favorite lines of Scripture and prayer.
Reverend Choules didn’t leave the church until a year
after the quilt was finished, so it’s difficult to connect it
to his departure.
We have only just begun the effort to learn about the
Jamaica Plain friendship quilt and the ladies who made
it. Now that it has a home at the Loring-Greenough
House, the quilt can be studied for as long as it takes to
reveal its secrets.

history enthusiast. For more information, visit www.

can we do for you?’ an organization can redefine its
purpose and reinvigorate itself. In the process there is
new relevance to be found as well as new friends and
audiences,” writes Anita Durel in the Summer 2009 Forum
Journal of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Durel and others have been writing about ways
historic properties can become sustainable in this
age of diminished interest in history and increased
competition for support and for people’s leisure time.
Being sustainable is about environmental sustainability,
of course, but it is also about the long haul, preserving a
historic resource in perpetuity…, which means forever.
The Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club is responsible for the
long-term preservation of the Loring-Greenough House,
Grounds, and Collections, and the Board of Directors
takes this charge very seriously. To become sustainable,
we are adapting and transitioning from a women’s
club into a community-based organization. Our goal
is to have the community members value the LoringGreenough House as a place for them, so we have been
asking “What can we do for you? How would you like
to use the house and grounds? How can you love and
care for it too?” as we open the House and grounds to
diverse uses by a diverse community.
space, and stories (yes, history!). All of this is to be
used and enjoyed. A new program, the JP Tuesday
Night Club, provides an open invitation for members
and guests to use the house on Tuesday evenings for
informational lectures, games, crafts, and independent
films. A new marketing initiative is inviting rentals
of the House and grounds as an income source
for ongoing preservation of the property. Our new
website is inviting and informative, and we are using
social networking sites to spread the word as well. A
membership drive will be launched this fall to invite
lapsed members back and new members and volunteers
to support the organization through membership. But
why wait for our call? You can join now by visiting our
website, www.loring-greenough.org.
Thank you for your continued support of the
Loring-Greenough House, an 18th-century place
for our 21st-century community.
As a volunteer organization, our most valuable asset
is place — a place with comfortable interiors, green

supplies provided.
Contributions of dried flowers and pods are welcome. If you or someone you
know is an avid gardener, please consider donating one or more of the following
natural materials.
• Berries: Fresh branches with berries of privet, English Ivy, beauty berry,
holly (no mealy bugs, please), or other berries that hold to branches all winter. Please, no
bittersweet, American cranberry, barberry or Euonymous branches, or branches with thorns.
• Greens: Holly, junipers, white pine and other evergreens; please cut during or after Thanksgiving so that
greens will be fresh.
• Pods and Cones: Pine cones, butternuts, beechnuts, magnolia pods (not local!) and other dried nuts

dried early will hold their color, unless they get damp — dusty miller, stock, and other flowers that retain
their colors when dried.

iris seed pods, gloriosa daisy, echinacea seed heads, astilbe, climbing hydrangea, sweet autumn clematis,
