In 1899 he became agent of the Cambridge overseers of the poor, and worked with the South End House to improve or demolish the worst housing, principally in Boston's North End section. Papers include memoranda on buildings taken down, reports on local housing conditions and correspondence, with letters from Jacob Riis and Robert Treat Paine, and some printed matter.
