Harrison Gray Otis House
-
One of the principal developers of Beacon Hill, Harrison Gray Otis (see Harrison Gray Otis (1765–1848))served in the Massachusetts legislature and gained a reputation for living la dolce vita in this 1796 Bulfinch-designed manse. Like a post-Revolutionary Gatsby, Otis ensured his parties were the social events of the year. After falling into disrepair, the property was acquired in 1916 by the historical preservation society and meticulously restored to its original grandeur.
