Join us for an outdoor reception and private tour of the Otis House, the last surviving mansion in Bowdoin Square in Boston’s West End neighborhood. We will learn about the family’s life in the Federal era and the later history of the house, when it served as a clinic and a middle-class boarding house. Charles Bulfinch designed the house for Harrison Gray Otis, a lawyer who was instrumental in developing nearby Beacon Hill, served in Congress, and was a mayor of Boston. It is the first of three houses Bulfinch designed for Otis and his wife, Sally Foster Otis. The house reflects the classical proportions and delicate detail of the Federal style.
The restoration of Otis House and its brilliantly colored wallpapers, carpeting, and high-style furnishings is based on meticulous historical and scientific research.
