Boland Square: Melrose, Mass.

Boylen Square: Melrose, Mass.

Location of Boland [sic] Square unknown. Summer of 1938.

According to L. Granfield, "This triangle 'island' was located at the intersection of Green and Howard Street near Elm Street. The correct name is Boylen Square. It is a memorial to Private William N. C. Boylen who grew up nearby and was killed in World War I. A redesign of the area (traffic rotary now) meant that the Boylen Memorial stone was moved to a nearby boulevard."
