Calvin Coolidge rented the left half of this modest duplex house and lived here for 24 years, even as he became mayor of the city, governor of the state, and president of the nation. After leaving office, Coolidge returned to the house, but a constant stream of visitation from a curious public took a toll on him and his neighbors. He moved to a nearby house, located at the end of a street, with gates on the driveway, and lived there till he died, in 1933. It too was a rental. Both houses are still privately owned and occupied.
