LAST WEEK’S ANSWER
The carved decoration in last week’s clue is on the Massachusetts Avenue entrance to 416 Marlborough Street. Built as an apartment hotel in 1895, it was designed by Willard T. Sears.
In his book, Built in Boston, Douglass Shand-Tucci wrote of the luxuries advertised for this residence, “…electricity in all rooms, twenty-four-hour telephone service, and all-night elevators.”
