Weybridge Road was one of two houses on this street built by Daniel
Heffernan and based on a design attributed to the Dix Lumber Company.
The first residents, Bart and Nora Grady, were listed here for just
one year (1928), but were the original owners and second residents
of the later Heffernan/Dix Lumber house at 15 Weybridge Road. (See
15 Weybridge Road for more on the
Gradys.)
The next
residents of this house, first listed in 1929, were Horace A. and
Bessie M. Edgecomb. Horace Albert Edgecomb (born 1873 in Rhode Island)
was a court stenographer. He was listed at this address until 1934
and his wife Bessie (born c1874) until 1938.
Following
the Edgecombs here were Harold J. and Mary Louise FIeld who moved
here from 7 Claflin Path. Harold Field (1897-1970), the son of Irish
immigrants, was an attorney. He and his wife Mary (born c1902) were
listed at this address from 1939 to 1944.
The last
residents of 35 Weybridge Road during the period covered by this
survey were Rhoda (born c1911) and Saul Butters (1906-1993) who
moved here from Boston. Their son Nelson (1937-1995) was valedictorian
of his class at Boston University and earned a doctorate at Clark
University. He later became a professor of psychiatry at the University
of California at San Diego and an expert on memory and memory disorders.
The Butters
family was listed at this address from 1945 until the late 1960s.
