Cushing-Endicott House is built.
1870
Architect: Snell & Gregerson. Originally the Thomas Cushing House, it is one of the three adjoining houses built by George Wheatland Jr. and located at 163 – 165 Marlborough Street. It has been called the “handsomest” house in the Back Bay. Subsequent occupants include lawyer and legislator Charles Sprague and his family and lawyer and justice William Crowninshield Endicott and his family. John Singer Sargent uses one a room as a studio in 1903. The building is converted to a lodging house and then a dormitory in the early 1960s and into apartments and then condominiums in the mid-1980s.
