Follow-up
According to architect and preservationist John Goff, “A strong case could be made that the Simon and Olga story and history has significance far beyond Burlington because of the connections to Sweden, Boston, Malden, Winchester, and the Swedish-American and Scandinavian-American immigration experience.”
The official name and address of the house is:
The Prouty-Johnson House
26 Prouty Road
Burlington, MA
