P04943The Hawthorne Rooms, in the Warren Building at 2 Park Street in Boston, was built for fine arts dealer Doll & Richards and opened to the public in February 1878. The first floor was used as the display rooms for Doll & Richards and the second floor contained a 250 seat hall for hire. Here, from late 1879 to 1885, Mary Baker Eddy held most of her services or "conversations on Christian healing" as she sometimes advertised them, on Sundays at 3:00 p.m. The building was damaged by fire in 1913 and later purchased by publisher Houghton Mifflin, who owned it from 1923 until 1993. The building was heavily renovated and the exterior modified once it was purchased by Houghton Mifflin, but the "Warren Building" still stands at 2 Park Street in Boston.
