FAMOUS HOUSE STILL STANDS
Mansion Erected by Thomas Hancock
on Beacon Hill, Boston, Splendid
Piece of Architecture.

The first house of distinction to be
built on Beacon HILL in Boston. the
highest of three elevations which gave
to the city the name of "Tri-moun-
tain" and which was the center Of
military. social and religious life was
erected by Thomas Hancock, an uncle
of the Revolutionary hero. This was
in 1887.
1t was a beautiful mansion, built
of stone, with the ground laid out in
orchards and gardens and it was here
that the first tree nursery In Boston
was started Inside great taste was
shown in the furnishings, the drawing
room containing a rare set of birds
eye maple, covered with red damask.
Hancock was a lavish host, and
gave famous breakfast to the officers
of the French fleet.
While the French troops were in Bos-
ton forty or more of the officers dined
at the house every day. On one occa-
sion, however, so many unexpected
guests appeared that Madam Hancock
was driven to despair to know how
TO provide for them. so she had serv-
ants milk all the cows pastured on the
common. whether this was agreeable
to their owners or not The house is
yet considered a splendid piece of
architecture.
