Neighborhood House: Boys at The Roost
| Group of boys getting ready for bed in a corner of The Roost in Piper's Woods (a 10 acre woods located a mile and a half past Forest Hill cemetery on the Speedway Road): one boy is climbing into his bunk with the aid of a chair; another boy is lying in his bunk with his head propped up on his arm and smiling and chatting with bunk mates who are changing for bed. The settlement house offered a number of summer camps for children. The Roost was built by Boy Scout Troops 22 (Neighborhood House) and 33 (Lowell School) beginning in 1928 and dedicated in 1931. |
