Wellesley developed as a railroad suburb with three commuter rail stops, and the housing arrived in distinct waves that show up below grade. The pre-1930 houses in Wellesley Hills and Wellesley Farms tend to have fieldstone or brick foundations with lower headroom and stone floors. The postwar houses on the streets built out in the 1950s and 1960s have poured concrete walls, greater height and space that finishes cleanly. Replacement construction from the last two decades often includes a fully finished lower level from the start. Campion & Company knows these eras.
