Parkman House – Boston – 33 Beacon Street
Here lived and died George Francis Parkman, Jr. 1823-1908 Remembered with enduring gratitude by the City of Boston for his bequest of a $5 million fund that secures for-ever the maintenance and improvement of the Boston Common and other public parks (Boston Common is America’s oldest Park founded in 1634). The Parkman House is next to the gold domed Boston State Capital Building (as seen at the far right center photo above & aerial photo of State Capitol the Parkman House is to the left see below).
See computer graphic imaging (animation) of what Beacon Hill looked back in time :
Jimmy Carter slept here while he was Governor of Georgia in 1980.

Walsh, together with Department of Neighborhood Development Director Sheila Dillon, Chief of Economic Development, John Barros, members of Boston Main Streets and community members, celebrate the Boston Main Streets volunteers and businesses of the year at the 20th Annual Boston Main Streets Award Ceremony, held at the Parkman House in Downtown Boston.

I have a watercolor picture of the row houses where Mr Parkman lived and on a little plaque reads: “here lived & died George Francis Parkman 1823-1908” This is a very large beautiful picture by an artist named Shectman 1980…..

would the above mentioned picture be of any interest to the city of Boston or Parkman Genealogy? I can send a picture of it.

More likely that The Parkman House = Mayor’s Official Reception Hall would have an interest in your watercolor picture.

Antiques Roadshow painting by Aldro Hibbard was painted of a town called South Londonderry Vermont. The Church on The Hill is no more. I am afarid that landmark burnt two years ago. Some of the buildings in the painting still are there. One being what we call the annex building. (was my Great Great Grandfathers Blacksmith shop) (left of the covered bridge.) This is an awesome find.
