Workmen Put Puritan Walk on Level Ground

Things are being straightened out in front of Winthrop House.

Workmen are replacing the old slanting pavement with a level walk and expect to have the project completed within two weeks.

The present slanted situation began in 1912 when the sidewalk between Gore and Standish Halls was first built. The underlying land was a marsh at that time, and once the heavy sidewalk was laid, it immediately began to settle on a lopsided angle.
