There were only the cliffs and the beach and the great ocean expanse, with but a residence or two, and one great summer hotel. Then it was rest ; now it is hubbub. At Crow Point thirty years ago no building except a sheepcot was on that charming stretch of shore, sightly hills rising from the beach and affording lovely residential sites. A few years later Mr. Samuel Downer, of Dorchester, a man of ample means and generous public spirit, saw its capabilities, bought it and at once transformed it... into an attractive summer resort. His pur- pose was not one of profit but of providing within easy access from Boston a place where its citizens, having a pleasant steam- boat trip down the harbor, could have playgrounds, picnics, amusements and rest. He instituted extensive clambake houses, large airy dance halls, swings, parkways, woodsy retreats, a fine restaurant, a summer hotel on the beach. Sometimes on a Sunday he preached a sermon. He called his recreation ground Melville Gardens and the whole place Downer Landing, a name, however, which has now given way to the original and much better old name of Crow Point.
