The respective birth places ofthe two Adams are
yet standing. They are two tme-worn tenements
standing near together and built after that universal
model of the last century, which can he identified in

Church is massive granite structure built and fur
nished in excellent symmetry and taste. Beneath
the eastern walls are inferred the remains of the

With these his name is familiarized in many an
honorable relic of his splendid genius and benevo-
lence-such as the adams Society," adams
Company" Adams Street," and other household
associations.
