Did you know that a duplex on Bodkin Street was the original St. Marks Lutheran Church?

Or that the 1979-1980 Our Lady of Loreto Lady Lions—led by future Olympian Suzie McConnell—was undefeated and captured the 1980 State baskeball championship?

Those pieces of Brookline history and more can be found easily on a Facebook page dedicated to recording and preserving the history of Brookline.
