35 Weybridge Road

35 Weybridge Road was one of two houses on this street built by Daniel Heffernan and based on a design attributed to the Dix Lumber Company. The first residents, Bart and Nora Grady, were listed here for just one year (1928), but were the original owners and second residents of the later Heffernan/Dix Lumber house at 15 Weybridge Road. (See 15 Weybridge Road for more on the Gradys.)

Following the Edgecombs here were Harold J. and Mary Louise FIeld who moved here from 7 Claflin Path. Harold Field (1897-1970), the son of Irish immigrants, was an attorney. He and his wife Mary (born c1902) were listed at this address from 1939 to 1944.

The last residents of 35 Weybridge Road during the period covered by this survey were Rhoda (born c1911) and Saul Butters (1906-1993) who moved here from Boston. Their son Nelson (1937-1995) was valedictorian of his class at Boston University and earned a doctorate at Clark University. He later became a professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego and an expert on memory and memory disorders.

The Butters family was listed at this address from 1945 until the late 1960s.
