    COMMENT: Are you a native of Boston - and have you been to any of these incredible mansions?

      Every home in Beacon hill is a mansion. Not just the one you're talking about. All those brownstones go back to the 1800s and before

      The picture that you show is the Gibson House in Toronto. You really ought to do your homework. And the Isabella Gardiner house is certainly more opulent than most. As I’ve written before, you guys are a bunch of charlatans

      Yes, yes and yes! Isabella Stuart Gardner is spectacular, maybe next time you'll cover it. Love Boston ❤

      ​@@matthew-jy5jp Beacon Hill does not have "Brownstones"...they are in the Back Bay or the South End. Beacon Hill is brick, brick, and more brick; with black or forest green shutters.

    The video is a fairly well done production with excellent photos and camera work. As a dyed in the wool Bostonian I am peeved about the brick farmhouse you kept showing as the Gibson House which is not the Gibson House. The jumping photos were distracting and deterred from the educational benefit of watching the video. The Ayer Mansion should not be included as it is another example of the tasteless alterations and destruction of old Boston homes in the Back Bay by greedy real estate developers who don't even live in Boston and inexperienced interior designer poseurs who thought Roche Bobois style "furniture" belongs in a "Gilded Age" renovation; how trite can one get? Bleccch!!

      Probably because it’s not in Back Bay. No list of Boston mansions is complete without it though!

    Thanks for the history of these beautiful buildings I drive by every day and even been in some as I worked for the wster & sewer commission. One stops paying attention to the history and beauty around us sometimes.
    So, thanks.🙏

    While discussing the Nichol’s house a few images are of the Otis house; the Gibson house wasn’t shown at all as it’s a brownstone and not a freestanding residence; and most of the images for the Ayer mansion are renderings and proposals used in a real estate listing. Overall, good presentation.

    Just to give everybody an example of how bad inflation is. The Gibson house was bought for $3000 in 1860 when John F. Kennedy died the casket that was purchased for him was $3000.
