from Lechmere Square and industrialization along Somerville Avenue and the Fitchburg Railroad. Spring Hill is home to Somerville Hospital, opened in 1891 on Highland Avenue, the Round House, located on Atherton Street, and the Somerville Museum, located on Central Street. At one time this neighborhood was home to both journalist Howie Carr and Winter Hill Gang leader Howie Winter. They lived one street apart, on Madison Street and Montrose Street, respectively. This was revealed in Carr's book about Irish mobster James "Whitey" Bulger, "The Brothers Bulger." Architecture and landmarks There are several structures in Spring Hill that have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Spring Hill developed as a primarily residential neighborhood and most of its structures reflect that: The Enoch Robinson Round House is a cylindrical, wood-frame residential building on Atherton Street. It was built in 1856 by hardware manufacturer Enoch Robinson, and is considered an offshoot of the octagon house-style popularized by phrenologist Orson Fowler. It has been vacant and deteriorating for many years, but is under new ownership and slowly being restored. The Martin W. Carr School, built in 1898, was originally an elementary school. The building has been converted to condominiums. The Alexander Foster House, an Italianate-style house on Laurel Street built in 1860 The House at 16-18 Preston Road, a Colonial Revival triple-decker built in 1910 The Joseph K.
