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
8/10/2019 Brief History of So 00 Some
24/112

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,

Francis
Bassett,
Frederick
H. Bradlee
and
David
Sears,
Jr.,
all
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
8/10/2019 Brief History of So 00 Some
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.

Com-
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
8/10/2019 Brief History of So 00 Some
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

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,
