Ease into summer with a relaxed and elegant evening on the front terrace of the Otis House.This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Otis House’s daring move in 1925, when it was lifted from its foundation and rolled back 42 feet to make way for the widening of Cambridge Street.
Join us to toast this remarkable feat of preservation that shaped the Beacon Hill and West End neighborhoods as we know them today.
Celebrate this milestone with beverages, live jazz music, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and a spotlight talk bringing the house’s dramatic journey to life.

About the Otis House:
Otis House is the last surviving mansion in Bowdoin Square in Boston’s West End neighborhood.
Charles Bulfinch designed the house for politician Harrison Gray Otis, Sally Foster Otis, and their young family.
Tours include the family’s life in the Federal era and the later history of the house, when it served as a clinic and a middle-class boarding house.
