Winter is upon us at 1154 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts, with the promise of cold and snow in the coming months. George Loring Brown’s 1864 painting titled “Winter” captures the season with snow on the ground and a moonlit sky.
Similarly, an anonymous poem from 1 March 1780 found in the Mellen Family Papers speaks to the severity of the winter: “Long Winter rul’d with unrelenting sway, | And shook his icy sceptre o’er the day— | His snowy magazine’s enormous door | Ope’d wide, nor shut, till drain’d of all its store.”
As we head into the final weeks of 2025, we offer you warm greetings, happy holidays, and a wonderful new year.
