It was located in what is now the centre of the post-office building, facing on Devonshire street. The famous old spring, which gave the name to Spring Lane and which is now preserved under the post-office, was near.

HISTORY: This Avery plot was a part of, or at least adjoined, the site of two notable resorts of later days -- the well known restaurant whence first came the famous "julien soup", and the "Stackpole House," not much less famous. The Winthrop estate was not far away, and near by, in after years Benjamin Franklin was born. Christopher Avery did not long retain this property, for March 22 2663, he sold land to Ambrose Dew, for forty pounds.
