Otis House (1796) is the last surviving mansion in Boston’s West End neighborhood. 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. The house reflects the classical proportions and delicate detail of the Federal style.
Seasonal tours discuss the Otis family’s Federal era life and later when it served as a clinic and a middle-class boarding house.
I went to the Otis house today and my tour guide, Casey, was absolutely amazing! She knew so much and answered every one of my questions with acute knowledge and understanding. Very thankful I went today !! 10/10
