Beacon Hill of Boston, MA

Before the Revolution, Beacon Hill was pasture land with a few notable exceptions, including John Hancock’s country estate, which was demolished to make room for the western addition to the Massachusetts State House.

The South Slope was developed in the 1790’s by the Mt. Vernon Proprietors for Boston’s richest families, who by the late 1800’s were being called Brahmins. South Slope streets were spacious and carefully laid out.

One of the proprietors, who also designed several Beacon Hill houses, was Charles Bulfinch. For a time, he was immortalized at 84 Beacon Street in the Bull & Finch Pub, which was the prototype for the television show, Cheers. The bar is now just called Cheers.
