NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORY

1560 Westminster

Once a prestigious avenue lined with opulent mansions to rival Broadway, Westminster Street transformed into part of Route 6, a transcontinental highway stretching from Provincetown, Massachusetts, to Long Beach, California. With the construction of the Interstate network, traffic was diverted, leaving gas stations like this one searching for new purposes. In 1987, the West Broadway Neighborhood Association purchased the building and began renovations, establishing a presence that has continued ever since.
