This interior view shows a bedroom at 25 Exeter Street in Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts. The bedroom probably belonged to a woman. A dressing table and a couch are set in a bay window and a purse hangs on a cheval glass. The bed faces the fireplace, above which is a mirror. A chandelier hangs from the decorated coffered ceiling. Nathan Matthews helped to develop the Back Bay and built 25 Exeter Street in 1882-1884. William Bliss, president of the Boston and Albany Railroad, seems to have been the first resident. In the mid-1880s, his daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and Hamilton Perkins, moved into the residence.
