Robin Hill Cemetery
Robin Hill Cemetery

Robin Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Donald Lynch Boulevard in Marlborough, Massachusetts, overlooking the Assabet River. It is at about 1 acre (0.40 ha) the community's second smallest burial ground, and it had (as of 2004) 24 markers denoting 27 burials. It is located on the south side of Donald Lynch Boulevard in a commercial office park, with the interchange between Interstates 495 and 290 to its south and east. Part of the property is taken up by Robin Hill a rise of about 30 feet (9.1 m) that is mostly covered with pine trees, and has relatively few burials. The rest of the property is relatively flat, and has been divided into family plots measuring about 20 by 20 feet (6.1 m × 6.1 m). It has a receiving tomb that probably dates to the mid-19th century.When established in the early 19th century, Robin Hill cemetery was located in a relatively rural agricultural area. Its burials include several military veterans, include those from the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, and World War II. Although the cemetery is still in active use, most of the marked graves date to the third quarter of the nineteenth century. The markers speak towards the high frequency of childhood death, as demonstrated by the dual markers for the two sons of Levi and Lucinda Rice, aged four and six, who both died on the same day in December 1817, while also demonstrating for families longevity, such as Ananias Cooke, who died in 1851 at the age of 91.The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Pleasant Street Historic District (Marlborough, Massachusetts)

The Pleasant Street Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district at 187—235 Pleasant Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. It is a cohesive collection of 8 residences and one school building that are representative of upper class housing on large well-proportioned lots. The oldest house in the district was built c. 1865, the newest c. 1924. A number of 19th century houses were restyled during the 1920s. The Immaculate Conception School was built in 1961, and does not contribute to the area's historic significance. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.The Pleasant Street area was developed as an upper-class residential area for leaders in Marlborough's dominant shoe manufacturing industry. Members of the Howe and Frye families contributed several of the houses. Louis Howe, who began manufacturing shoes in 1850, built a substantial Second Empire house at 207 Pleasant c. 1865, which was updated to the Colonial Revival by his nephew in the 1920s. Louis Howe's cousin Franklin built 207 Pleasant c. 1872; it was a companion Second Empire house, which was given Georgian Revival styling in 1927 by John Frye, who grew up next door.Three other houses were built in the 19th century, all with Queen Anne styling. The Russell House at 208 Pleasant was built c. 1885, and has a wraparound porch and bargeboard decoration in its gables. This house, like several of the others in the district, has been converted to multi-unit housing. The Walter Frye House at 187 Pleasant was built c. 1895, and has characteristic Queen Anne features, with numerous projections and gables, as well as a wraparound porch with octagonal pavilion and porte cochere. The Frye-Hazelton House at 223 Pleasant was also built c. 1895, and features a prominent octagonal tower.
