Presidential Village, Maynard, Massachusetts

Presidential Village (also known as New Village, Reardonville, and Mahoneyville) is a residential neighborhood of approximately 250 houses in Maynard, Massachusetts where many of the streets are named after the post-Civil War U.S. Presidents, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. The American Woolen Company started construction of the neighborhood in 1903 as rented mill worker housing - small houses on small lots. The company sold the houses in 1934 to private owners. The neighborhood remains largely preserved in its original form. Prior to the construction the land had been farmland belonging to the Reardon and Mahoney families.^[1][2]
