Additional Details:
Grimshawe House, 53 Charter Street. During the days of Hawthorne's courtship his affianced wife resided in this old-time mansion, which stands today practically unchanged. Hawthorne, who must have had most delightful associations connected with his house, recalled its situation in the unpleasant "Dolliver Romance" and its still more disagreeable presentment in "Dr. Grimshswe's Secret."
