    IN COMMEMORATING THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE VILLAGE CONDOMINIUM

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. JOSEPH P. KENNEDY II

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 5, 1997

  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I join my colleagues in 
celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Village Condominium.
  In 1910, the site of the Village Condominium was a working farm and 
piggery. It was not until 1947 that 308 apartments were built on the 
site of this farm. In 1971 these apartments became condominiums in the 
largest condominium conversion in Massachusetts. No one could have 
imagined that 25 years later, the Village Condominium would set 
standards for other condominiums statewide.
  The Village Condominium pressed for certain rights which they were 
entitled to, thus providing strong leadership for all other 
condominiums in the area. The Village Condominium Association is an 
example of citizens working together to achieve a common goal. The 
result is an affordable, efficiently run condominium.
  I am pleased to join my colleagues in commemorating the 25th 
anniversary of the Village Condominium.
