Uncovering Stories of Domestic Staff at 55 Mt Vernon

The Museum had just scratched the surface on the history of domestic staff at 55 Mt. Vernon Street, until now. Hear about the lives of those who worked “downstairs” and lived on the top floor of the Nichols House at this virtual talk. Join us as we dive into the archives, local to national, and explore the narratives of a handful of these individuals before, during, and after their employment by the Nichols family. Catch highlights of holiday seasons past as well. 

This talk is presented by Nichols House Museum Visitor Services Representative and Suffolk University History student, Annaliese Arnsten. Annaliese spent the last ten weeks diving into these histories to better share them with you. This project is a work in progress. We hope to share even more with you in the months to come. 

The Nichols House Museum is a historic home located in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. Visitors are welcome for tours, programs and special events throughout the year. We highlight topics such as women’s history, decorative arts, and everyday life through stories of the Nichols family and their contemporaries in late 19th century and early 20th century Boston.
