When we were in Boston this past summer (I do miss summer) we spent a lot of time in the Back Bay area where there were all manner of magnificent brownstone buildings. This one made me stop in my tracks and just go – wow! The Burrage House is named after attornery, businessman and philanthropist Albert Burrage and his family and was constructed in 1899. It now is divided into six condominiums each going for millions of dollars with monthly rents going for around $1500 + a month. For the construction, Burrage used the finest materials-European marble, rare mahogany, stained glass windows and intricately designed mosaic tiles. The exterior has nearly 50 dragons and gargoyles, 30 cherubs, 300 bibliophiles, and lion, eagle, and human heads carved into the elaborate stonework. The mansion was a reflection of Burrage’s success as an entrepreneur and of his personal wealth. (info from http://www.otisahearn.com Real Estate)
It is one amazing piece of architecture to see and the inside (which I didn’t get to see personally but found on YouTube) is breathtaking. Must be nice is all I can say… 😉

You’re welcome!
Oh, it’s gorgeous!! Love the second photograph with the lady walking her dog. The place looks like a castle, but that lady walking by just brings it into modern day. Cool! –Lisa
The place is just amazing. I would’ve loved to have gone even in the front door.
