DORR generology 821 NOTE ON THE HOME OF SAMUEL DORR, IN BOSTON. The early home of my grandfather, Samuel Dorr, in Boston, where his children of both marriages were born and the older ones grew up, was by the harbor front, still at that time a much sought residential section, convenient to the merchants' warehouses and offices and pleasant in outlook. One of my father's earliest recollactions was of raising himself up by his hands at the nursery window to look out on the harbor and see the ships come sailing in. That house his father sold when he was not quite three years old, removing, for his older children's sake, to Tremont Street, near the foot of Park Street, a growing center then of social life. But the harbor front with its wharfs and shipping and all the movement of a busy port was at favorite playground of my father and his comrades as he grew up; and he looked back always on its memories with great pleasure. In those days, before railroads or steamboats or the use of steam power in mills, Boston was a city of merchants still, whose prosperity was founded on the sea R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street boston N.A 02116 (Home of Samuel Dorr) 2. and who, owning or having an interest in vessels, had warehouses and counting houses where the ships came in, on India and other wharves or their neighborhood. The masts and rigging of the ships gave wonderful oppor- tunity for climbing, and the cargoes that they brought from distant ports wore full of stimulus to the imagi- nation for the boys who played about as the vessels were unleading. But the Common opposite the new home on Tremont Street was a great playground, too, with its broad, shady malls, ideal in spring for marbles and all kinds of running games; its rolling grasslands, From Pond and good winter coasting; its Election Days band concerts and parades; and the broad Back Bay beyond for skating. The house on Tremont Street, facing the Common, carried with it EL right to pasture, and my father and his sister were brought up for several years on the milk of a cow my grandfather kept for them on the Common. They were among the last, are ordinance pass- ed by the City ending the privilege in practice, though the legal right remained, and still remains, inherent in the property. (Home of Samuel Dorr) 3. In 1822, four years after my grandfather had retired from the importing business to become presi- dent of the New England Bank, the Boston Athenaeum with its book and art collections and reading rooms moved from its early home on Tremont Street, in a house built originally by the loyalist rector of King's Chapel, looking down west on its old burial ground, to a mansion on Pearl Street, a quiet and pleasant residential section then, beautified by stately houses and shade trees, which was given it by James Perkins, the wealthy merchant, whose home it had been; and new shares were offered by the corpora- tion to meet the expense of moving. Samuel Dorr pur- chased one of these, becoming a proprietor and there- after took an active interest in its affairs, contrib- uting to its purchases of books and works of art, and serving as a trustee in 1826 and 1827. The share he purchased was No. 179, as carried on the Athenaeum's books, and has remained in the family continuously since, passing from him to his son Charles Hazen Dorr, and from Charlos Hazen Dorr to me, George Bucknam Dorr, who still retains it. (Home of Samuel Dorr) 4. When the Boston Art Museum was built, in 1870, on Copley Square, the Athenaeum transferred to it the main portion of its art collections, prints apart, and withdrew from the art collecting field, but till then its art gallery and loan exhibitions were notable features of the city's cultural life and had a far-reaching influence on the younger generation, leading on toward the subsequent great development of art museums and private art collections in America.

In March, 1833, the Society purchased for the sum of $6,500, from the Provident Institution for Savings, " the second story of the edifice lately erected by said Provident Institution in Boston, bounded westerly on Tremont Street, and southerly on the Chapel Burying-grounds, together with one half of the attic story of said building, with a privilege in the entries and stairways." The purchase was for cash, and was met in part by a special subscription of $5,000 from sixty-four gentlemen, of whom the larger number were not members, and in part by the proceeds of the Treasurer's notes for $1,500. The names of the sub- scribers and the sums contributed by them are as follows Samuel Appleton $300 Henry Codman $50 James Bowdoin 300 Otis Everett 50 Peter C.

The share that stood in his name had belonged, before it became his, to his father, Charles Hazen Dorr, for the forty-nine years preceding 1894. From 1822, when it was issued, to 1844 it belonged to C. H. Dorr's father, Samuel Dorr, a Trustee of the Library and a donor to its resources. A portrait of Samuel Dorr, painted by George P. A. Healy, was one of the inherited possessions of his grandson, George Bucknam Dorr, in whose memory his surviving repre- sentatives are now presenting it to the Athenxum. Quite apart from its considerable merit as a work of art, this picture is a most welcome accession, for quite apart from the immediate uses of the Athenxum as a repository of books, this Library is also a shrine of associations. George Dorr himself was a man of wide interests, ranging from philosophy and the occult, a field in which he was a fellow-worker with William James, to the open spaces of nature. To his initiative and energy the very existence of the Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine is largely due. To the end of his days, he identified himself with this dream come true. Bar Harbor became his residence, but whether there or in Boston, whether in person or through the Post-Office, he turned naturally and habitually to the Athenxum for books related to his interests. No living person can remember the Samuel Dorr of Healy's portrait. The George Dorr in whose memory it will hang in the Athenxum will remain for some years to come a distinctive figure remembered by many. In another hundred years, assuming the heav- ens are not to fall, the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Dorrs who cared for the Athe- nxum will still be commemorated here. The ivy of memory is a long-lived and hardy plant. It flourishes in many works of art bequeathed from time to time to the Athenxum, and is set off throughout our building by the beauties of color constantly renewed in the flowers that speak alike for a memory and for a living devotion to the Library. Arms, the Man, and the Book NDER the heading "Books for Remembrance" there appeared in that excellent column of "Topics" in a recent issue of the New York Times a few paragraphs re- lating to a small public library at Warrenton, Virginia. When the "Life and Letters of Walter H. Page" appeared in 1922, the library received a copy of the book, as a gift, in memory of a young soldier of World War I. Since that time other single books have been I of 2 The Influence and History of the Boston Athenaeum. Boston: Boston Athenaeum, 1907.

Email. 8/21/2007. 12/12/2019 Sent - Mail - RONALD EPP - Xfinity Connect Portrait of Dorr ancestors RONALD EPP 4:49 PM To Cornelia Gilder Nini, Regarding our conversation at Ventfort Hall, Dorr's grandfather was Samuel Dorr who was painted by George P.A. Healy,, There is a lengthy treatment of Healy in the recently published "Greater Journey: Americans in Paris" by David McCullough. Healy is a fascinating man whom I am now researching in greater detail. His portrait of Sam Dorr was given to the Boston Athenaeum as part of Dorr's estate. On his maternal side, banker and Harvard Treasurer Thomas Wren Ward was painted by William Page and it is part of the holdings of the Harvard Art Museums. Have a very Merry Christmas !!!

P. A. Healy's portrait of Samuel Dorr. (The Athenaeum's catalogue ATHENA covers only the library's holdings, not the Art Department's, which is catalogued separately in a database not yet available on-line). The basic information on Healy's portrait is as follows: George Peter Alexander Healy (1813-1894) Samuel Dorr, ca. 1842 Oil on canvas, 75.9 X 63.8 cm. Gift of the estate of George Bucknam Dorr, 1945 Our records indicate that the portrait was in the possession of Charles H. Dorr of Boston until 1893, then with George Bucknam Dorr of Bar Harbor until 1944. If you would like to order an image of this portrait, please contact Patricia Boulos, Digital Assets Manager, Boston Athenaeum, at boulos@bostonathenaeum.org . Please let me know when your biography is published so that we can acquire a copy for the Athenaeum and have any references to the Dorr portrait for our files. Meanwhile, please let me know if I can be of further help.
