Sidelinger the well known city council member (1894-1898) and city council president in 1889. Sidelinger, who commuted to Boston to work for the house of Cushing.
Bliss and Company, was also very active in the YWCA serving as treasurer for many years. This house is located in the President's Hill section of the President's Hill/Cranch Hill neighborhood of Quincy. This area. immediately adjacent to Quincy Center, is roughly bounded by the MBTA tracks (east); Granite Street and Quarry Streets (south); Carrolls Lane, Adams Street (north): and Quarry Street (west). President's Hill was developed as an elite residential area ifor affluent Quincy businessmen, civic leaders, and Boston commuters upon the division of the Charles Francis Adams Estate in the 1890s. The property was divided into three contiguous real estate trusts called President's Hill. President's Hill Annex, and Cranch Hill. President's Hill took its name from the Adams family who furnished two United States Presidents.
The close proximity of the Quincy Depot (which served the Old Colony Railroad and the Street Railway) and of Quincy Center were crucial factors in the successful development of President's Hill between the 1890s and the late 1930s.
