From the book 12 Sketches of Old Boston Buildings, by George R. Tolman, published 1882:
"Nos. 117, 119, and 121 Salem Street. The Wells House. This building is said to have been erected in 1680, of timber grown upon the spot, and in the neighborhood of Cooper Street. It is said that in this house the first persecuted Baptist minister found protection and held secret meetings. Upon a pane of glass, in the first window beyond the door, up Elmer Place, to the left of the picture, is written, evidently with a diamond, 'Lydia Greenleaf at Boston, 1796.' This house is the most perfect existing example of old Boston buildings with overhanging stories. The rear, shown on Plate VI, is equally interesting.
An elderly lady, now deceased, stated this building was built in 1660. There is some circumstantial evidence tending to support this, to wit: Assuming the legend of the persecuted Baptists, as connected with this house to be true; the persecution of the Baptists commenced about 1650. At the later period of 1680 there is no record of persecution in such a violent form as would compel concealment. Therefore the date 1660 is not improbable. The date 1680 was obtained through the aid of the present owner. Whichever may be correct, this house out-dates the Corner Store in Dock Square, built 1690, generally termed the oldest building in Boston, by at least ten years."

These are just three pages sketches from one of my sketchbooks. They are from my Design and Technology project this year, where I am designing a new office building for a client. I feel it is a good example of how my ideas developed. Eventually I began developing this idea of how the views and perspectives should be just as varied and interesting from the inside, as well as from the outside.
Another Hibernia model sketch for 1:35 scratch building. This time based strongly on this build. I really liked the simple, boxy shape of the original, and I think it lends itself very well to stryrene modeling.
