Re: 50 Anson Street, innacurate history: From: Wood, April Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 5:00 PM To: Hastie,Winslow W.; Emmons, Karen; Naas, Carrie; Saunders, Katherine Subject: inaccurate history on easement property I wanted to let you know that Sarah Fick is doing the research on our new easement property at 46 Anson Street and in doing so, finding significant errors in the history of our other easement property, 50 Anson (adjoining). Unfortunately, there is a plaque on 50 Anson with incorrect info. I'll discuss this further with Sarah tomorrow, but I wanted to give you all a heads up. Thanks!
