Cummings (Charles A.) House is built.

Architect: Cummings & Sears. Built by the architect as his home and designed in the Medieval style [High Victorian Gothic style], it is located at 109 Newbury Street (230 Clarendon Street). It is described by Bainbridge Bunting as “The first Back Bay dwelling to carry the Medieval guise beyond an occasional pointed window.” It is converted to retail and office use by 1925.
