Named in the 1884 county history

The history of Norfolk County was published 22 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

In May, 1882, the General Court authorized a Police Court to be established in Brookline, for civil and criminal business. The first court held was in a room at the police station. Soon after this the county of Norfolk fitted apartments for the use of the court, consisting of a commodious court-room and a room for the justices, containing a library, and having connection with the police department, so that the facilities of doing business are now as complete as any to be found in the county. 'The new apartments were used for the first time Sept. 1, 1882. The justices are Charles H. Drew, justice; Charles F. Perkins and Albert L. Lincoln, special justices ; appointed in May, 1882.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Wellesley, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
