P05379Mary Baker Eddy purchased 175 Poplar Street in Roslindale, Massachusetts, in the spring of 1891, seeking a balance between a quiet place to work and being close to the activities of the Church of Christ (Scientist) and her students in Boston. The home was located across the street from that of Ira Oscar Knapp and Flavia Stickney Knapp and there was frequent visitation between the two homes. Eddy moved in on May 23, 1891, but only lived there for one month due to regular interruptions and unexpected noise from the surrounding busy streets. In late June 1891, she moved back to 62 North State Street, Concord.
