Description

A large Queen Anne, possibly the Frank E. Green house, is seen at the intersection of Waverley Street and Perrin Street in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The house was designed by South Boston architect, John H. Besarick. A large porch extends from the front entrance to the side of the house. Several open balconies and a turret adorn the roofline of the building. The view is from just beyond the sidewalk in the intersection of the two streets.
