Preface

It

has

been

considered advisable

to

publish a

brief

history

of

the

Somerset

Club

from

its

organization

to

the present

time,

a

period

of

sixty years,

that

in

this way the

memory

of

the names

and lives

of

many

distinguished

gentlemen

of

Boston

who played

an important part

in making our

city what

it

was

in

a

former

generation,

and who made this

Club

one

of

the

most

distinguished

social

associations

of

our

country,

shall

be held in

due

honor by

their succes-

sors, and

that

there shall

be

preserved the roll

not

only of

our

predecessors but

of

all

those also with whom we

have

been

associated.

The

preparation of

this

volume has been entrusted

to a

special

committee

by

the

government

of the

Club.

The

Club

is

greatly

indebted

to Mrs. Charles

W.

Amory,

Dr.

J.

Collins

Warren,

Dr.

Henry F.

Sears and

Mr.

Charles

F.

Read

of

the

Bostonian

Society

for

valuable

information

concerning

the houses of

the

Club.

History

of

the

Somerset Club

In

1846

there

existed

an

association

of

gentlemen

(called

at

first

the Travellers,

later

the

Tremont

Club),

which

occupied

chambers in Tremont

Street

described as

opposite

the

old

Boston

Museum,

a

playhouse.

It possessed

no

restaurant,

but refreshments

were brought

in from without

as

wanted.

It consisted of

forty-one

members.

These

gentlemen, whose

names

are

given below, adopted,

September

12,

1851,

the

name

at

first

of Beacon

Club,

soon

changed to

Somerset

Club,

and

purchased for their new

home

the

stone building on

the

eastern corner of Somerset

and

Beacon

streets.

This

edifice, with

the

adjoining Gard-

ner

house,

was built in 18

16 by Mr.

David

Hinckley, and

was

called

the finest

house

in

Boston at that

time. Its

site

had

been

previously

occupied

by

the

ancient

Stone house

,,

of

Rev.

James

Allen of the

First

Church,

who

owned

a

far

larger

part

of

the

territory of Boston

than

was ever

owned

by

any

other

individual.

The

Hinckley

house was in-

herited

and

occupied

by

his

daughter,

who

married

W.

G.

Hodgkinson,

Esq. It was

purchased of her in

183

1

by

Hon.

Benjamin

W.

Crowninshield,

who removed

at

that time

from

Salem. The interior, filled

with

beautiful

furniture,

paintings,

and statuary,

is

well described

by

his

daughter,

Mrs.

J.

Mason

Warren,

in

her interesting

Reminiscences

privately

published

a

few

years

ago.

Gleaner

(Nathaniel

I.

Bowditch)

thus

alludes

to the

Club

house

in

one

of his interesting

communications in the


24/112

4

Somerset Club

Boston Transcript,

1855,

as so well

known

to

'Young

America '

for

its

elegant

appointments,

or,

as

devoted

wives

sitting

at

home

might

prefer

to

call

them,

its

seductive

attractions.

After

Mr. CrowninshiekTs

death in

1851

the

house

was

purchased

by

this

Club

and

opened

to

membersApril

1, 1852.

During its

occupancy

a

ladies'

restaurant was

opened

in

connection with

the

Club,

probably

the

first

of its

kind

in

the country. Here

follows

a copy

of

the

call for

the

meet-

ing

of

organization :

Boston,

March

20th,

1852.

Sir:

The

Subscribers

to

the

Club,

at

the corner

of

Beacon

and

Somerset Streets,

are

requested

to

meet

in

their

Club

House, on

Friday,

the 26th

inst.,

at

7

o'clock p.m.,

to

receive

the report

of their Committee

;

to

establish

a

Con-

stitution

and

By-Laws,

and transact

such other

business

as

may

come

before

the

meeting,

preparatory

to

occupancy.

John

D.

Bates,

For

the Executive

Committee.

P.S. The Club House

will be

open to

the

families

of

members and

their friends,

on

Wednesday

the

24th inst.,

during the

day

and evening.

The property

was

held under an

instrument

in the

form

of an

indenture,

which

begins

as

follows:

Whereas by

an

indenture

made on the Seventeenth

of April

in the

year

of

our Lord

1852

between

Francis B.

Crowninshield,

Esq.,

Samuel

Hooper,

Esq.,

and

James

Davis,

the

younger,

merchant,

the city of

Boston,

of

said

Boston,

Esquires,

who

executed

the

same

on

behalf

of the

members

of the

'

Somerset

Club/

etc.

Messrs.

Crowninshield,

Hooper and Davis became

trustees,

under

whom the

property

was

held

for the

benefit

of

the

shareholders;

but

in

1855,

240

six per cent bonds,

of

#250

each,

to the

amount

of sixty

thousand

dollars,

were

issued,

subject

to

a

sinking

fund

of

#1000

per

annum,

and

shares

to

this

amount were retired.

After

twenty years, in

1871,

the

Club

again felt it neces-

sary

to

obtain

more capacious

quarters,

and

purchased

the Sears

Mansion,

42

and

43

Beacon

Street,

at a cost of

#210,000,

to

which

it removed

the

following

year.

The

old

Club

house was

then

sold

to

the Congregational

Association,

and

was

known

as the Congregational Building. In

1896

it

was purchased

by

Houghton

and Dutton, who in

1904

took

the

structure

down,

and

erected on its

site the

western

corner

part

of

their

present

stores.

The

land

upon

which

the Sears

Mansion was

erected

was

a

part of

the eleven

acres previously

owned

by

John

Single-

ton

Copley,

the

celebrated

artist,

and

originally belonged to

Blackstone.

Copley

speaks

of it

as

his

farm on

Beacon

Hill. There

he

painted

many of

his

famous portraits. All that

we know

of

the

house

is

that it

was painted

yellow,

and

that

near it

was

that

of

Master Vinal the schoolteacher,

where the

Otis house,

now

the

residence of

W.

Austin

Wadsworth,

Esq.,

stands.

In

1774

Copley left

Boston,

went

to-Europe,

and

did not

return.

The

British

forces

erected

fortifications

upon

his


28/112

6

Somerset

Club

lands. In his

absence

his

house

was

sold

without

his

knowl-

edge.

In

1796

he sent

his

son,

later

Lord

Lyndhurst,

Lord

High

Chancellor

of

Great Britain,

to

Boston

to

recover

his

property.

The suit

was

compromised

by

Messrs.

Otis

and

Mason

on

payment

of four

thousand

guineas.

The

date

of

the

demolition of

the

Copley

house

has

not

been

ascertained.

Upon this

Copley lot

Mr.

Sears

built

his

handsome

stone

house

on

the

line of

Beacon

Street,

and

inserted

a

tablet

with

the

following

inscription:

Mansion

House,

erected

by

David Sears

in

the

year one

thousand eight

hundred

and nineteen

A.

Parris,

architect.

The

ornamental

marble

tablets

upon

the

front

were carved by

Solomon

Willard,

who

was

the

architect

of

Bunker

Hill

Monument.

The

original

Sears house

had but

one bow,

with

windows

from

the

basement

to the roof on each

side

of

it. The

en-

trance was

upon

its

eastern

side

through a

courtyard

lead-

ing

to

a

stable

in

the

rear.

There

were

trees

in this yard,

as well

as in

that

on the western

side

of

the

house,

and

an-

other

story

was

added.

Behind

the

old

house

(Copley's)

stood a

barn, which

was

converted into

a

temporary

hos-

pital

for

the

wounded

British

officers after

the

battle of

Bunker

Hill.

When

Mr.

Sears

was

digging

the

foundations

of his

house

the

workmen came,

at a

depth of

several

feet

under

the

surface,

to a

gigantic

moccasined foot,

perhaps

2

feet long, broken

off

at

the

ankle,

and

carved

from

a

kind

of

limestone not found

in

this

vicinity,

which he

presented

to

the

Boston Athenaeum, where

it

seems

to

have

been

lost

sight of.

Even

Mr.

Copley

would

admit that

the

houses of

Messrs.

Sears,

Parker

and

Appleton

have

more

than

made

good

the two

domiciles

which

are

delineated

in

all the

dignity

of

yellow

paint

on

the

original

plan

of

the

Mt.

Vernon

purchase.

Except

the

old powder

house

we

have

seen that

only these

two houses

(Copley's

and

Master

Vinal's)

appear

on

a

plan

of an

Estate

containing

a million

of square feet, upon which

now

stand probably

five

hundred

houses.

missioners.

Later the

building

was

extended

westward

by

the erection

of an additional bow upon land adjoining belonging

to

the

Harrison

Gray Otis

estate. (The house now

standing

be-

tween

the

Club

and

the

Otis

Mansion,

occupied

by

Mr.

Richard

C.

Dixey, was

built

in

1823

by

Mr.

Otis,

in

his

garden,

for his

daughter,

Mrs.

Ritchie.)

In

1853

another

house

was

built

by

Mr.

Sears

covering

the courtyard

of the

mansion to

the eastward,

thus

closing access

to

the stable.

The

main entrance was

then

changed

to

its present

position

facing

Beacon

Street.

Before

occupation

by

the

Club

certain

additions

were

made to

the house in the rear under

the

direction of Messrs.

Snell and

Gregerson,

architects.

The

old

stable

was razed,

and

a

large

and

stately dining-room

was erected as

an L,

with

a

billiard

hall above it.

At

right

angles

to it a

kitchen

was

built,

and

in the

story

over it

was

constructed

a

bowl-

ing

alley.

Enclosed

by

these

structures

a

large

and

pleasant

court

was constructed, some sixty

feet

square.

Sodded

and

surrounded

by

vines,

shrubs

and

flowers,

it

forms

a

delight-

ful outside

lounging

place

in

summer.

Many

changes

were

made within

the old edifice to

fit

it for the

purposes

of

a

club

house.

In

the

process of

reconstruction

a

secret


32/112

8

Somerset

Club

chamber in the

attic

was

discovered,

filled

with

old

Madeira

wine,

stored there at

an

unknown

period

and

apparently-

forgotten

by

the

former owner.

Several

dining-rooms

for

private

entertainments

were

included

in

the

alterations.

In

one of

them,

a

large and

beautiful

room,

many

college

class

dinners and

notable banquets

have been served.

Among

its

adornments

may

be*mentioried an immense

Chinese

punch-bowl,

the

gift of

Mrs. Henry P.

Sturgis,

and

the

handsome

dinner

service,

twenty-one pieces of

Sheffield

plate, which was

brought

to Philadelphia from

Paris

by

Richard Rush, our

Minister

to

France, 1

847-1

849.

He

purchased

it from an

old

French

family which

was

in posses-

sion of

it

for fifty

years.

Mr. Rush had

his

coat

of

arms

engraved

upon it.

He

and Webster,

it

has been

said, were

intimate

friends,

and the former, knowing Webster

coveted

it,

offered to

sell

it

to

him. Some of Webster's friends,

knowing

this, bought

it

and presented

it

to him, and

had his

name

inscribed

upon

the pieces.

After

Webster's

death,

October

24,

1852,

the

Marshfield

Club,

consisting

of

some

twelve

members

of

the Somerset

Club,

purchased

a

large

part

of the

service

and

presented it

to

the

Club.

A

ladies'

restaurant

was also constructed, with

a separate

entrance,

on

the lower

floor of

the

western

bow. In

1872,

when the

Club

first

occupied

their new

premises,

all sup-

plies

(such as

coal,

ice,

provisions) and

ashes,

were carried

through

a

passage

from

the rear of

No.

43

Beacon

to

Spruce

Street.

Complaint

having

been

made

to

the

Supreme

Court

that

although

the

estate

No.

43

owned

a

right

of

way

to

Spruce

Street,

estate

No.

42

had

no

such right, there-

fore the

Supreme

Court

granted an injunction

against its


33/112

'//>(//


34/112


35/112

Somerset

Club 9

further

use

by

No.

42.

It

thus

became

necessary

to

build

a

tunnel

or

subway

under

the

house

from Beacon

Street

to

the

rear

of

the

Club,

otherwise

everything must have

been

carried

through

the

front

doors.

During his

occupancy

of

the

mansion

many

distinguished

men were

entertained

in

it

by

Mr. Sears,

among

others

Daniel

Webster,

Rufus

Choate,

Prescott,

Everett,

Motley,

and

often,

before the

Civil

War,

gentlemen

from

the

South.

In

1896

the

adjoining

house,

41

Beacon

Street,

formerly

occupied by

William Amory,

Esq.,

was

purchased

by

the

Club

and

annexed. Its

site was

once the

courtyard of

the

Sears

estate.

At

the

opening

of

the Club house,

April

30,

1872,

a re-

ception

was

given

to

ladies, and its rooms

were beautifully

decorated

with

flowers.

During the

Peace

Jubilee

in

1872,

a notable

concert

was

given in the

courtyard

by

the

band

of

the

English

Grenadier

Guards under the leadership

of

the

well-known

Dan

Godfrey.

The

front of the

building

was

at

one time

covered

by

the

luxuriant

growth of

the

Japanese

vine, Ampelopsis Veitchii,

sometimes

called

the Boston

ivy,

imported

from

England

by

Mr.

Robert

M.

Pratt, perhaps its

earliest

introduction

into

this city.

After

having

been for

years one

of

the

most

attractive

sights

in

Beacon

Street,

it

was

partly

winter-

killed,

and reluctantly removed.

Certain

public events and celebrations

have

brought

many

notable personages to

Boston

from time to

time,

to

whom the hospitalities

of

the

Club have been

extended,

including

several

Presidents

of

the

United

States,
