<mods:abstract>This interior view shows the entrance hall at 25 Exeter Street in Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts. Two columns with Ionic capitals support a large ceiling beam and stand before the staircase. Wainscoting lines the walls of the entrance hall. A chandelier hangs from the ornately decorated 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.</mods:abstract>
