MAINE TRIP: Day 3: Boston Part 4: Harrison Gray Otis House


Add 
HARRISON GRAY OTIS HOUSE - On our quick walk through Boston, we stopped outside of a huge home that belonged to Harrison Gray Otis. Who was he?
Harrison Gray Otis (October 8, 1765 – October 28, 1848), was a businessman, lawyer, and politician, becoming one of the most important leaders of the United States' first political party, the Federalists. He is a member of the Otis family.
One of the wealthiest men of Boston during his time, Otis was reportedly worth at least US$800,000 in 1846, which in 2010 would be equivalent to $5.6 Billion!

  Tom really admired the architecture, and I was sensing a lot of residual ghostly energy around the home, but nothing walking around outside.
