Origin of "South Angell Street"

Lovecraft grew up on Angell Street, and most likely knew every nook and cranny of it. And its history.

Here in a 1909-1911 series of books we read:



Cold Spring Street
This street named for a spring south of it - now extinct - is now known as South Angell street.
Angell street was extended eastward from its junction with South Angell street less than fifty years ago.
{i.e. circa 1860's, a few decades before Whipple Phillips purchased his Angell Street land - thus he bought into the "old" tract of land. Another reason Lovecraft worshipped it.}
