The land for the house was purchased from Samuel Hooper on July 2, 1860, by Martha Edwards's brothers, Francis Fiske Dorr and Charles Hazen Dorr, as trustees of a trust established for her benefit. Charles Hazen Dorr and his wife, Mary Gray (Ward) Dorr, lived in Jamaica Plan, and in about 1864 moved to a new house built at 18 Commonwealth). The July 7, 1860, contract for building 34 Commonwealth was filed with the Suffolk County Deeds Registry and includes details about the materials and construction of the house. Click here for an abstract and partial transcription of the contract. Martha Edwards died in May of 1882. On June 15, 1882, Charles Hazen Dorr, as the surviving trustee, transferred 34 Commonwealth to Rev. Edmund Farwell Slafter, who was executor under her will. Henry Edwards continued to live at 34 Commonwealth, joined by his sister-in-law, Susan Elizabeth Dorr. He died in September of 1885. Susan Dorr continued to live there until her death in December of 1889. 34 Commonwealth (ca. 1942), By the 1890-1891 winter season, 34 photograph by Bainbridge Bunting, Commonwealth was the home of courtesy of The Gleason Partnership unmarried sisters Anne Perkins Cary https://backbayhouses.org/34-commonwealth/ 4/8 Epp, Ronald From: Nini Gilder [cbg@gilder.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 9:42 AM To: Epp, Ronald Subject: George Dorr's antecedants Dear Dr. Epp, I have just returned from a two-week trip to Alaska - a place George B. Dorr would have loved - and found your letter. I wish I could come to hear your talk to the Bar Harbor Historical Society. My knowledge of the Dorrs comes through my research for a book on Lenox country houses. Here in Lenox George B. Dorr's relatives on both sides of his family established substantial estates in the 1840s and 50s. George's uncle Samuel Gray Ward is considered the pioneer Lenox "cottager." He and Anna Barker Ward built the first big house of the area called "Highwood" (now part of Tanglewood) in 1845. In 1853 Francis Fiske Dorr (1811-1870) bought a house he named "Highlawn" which he had rented previously. Francis had two brothers George Bucknam (1806-1876) and Charles Hazen (father of the second George B.) and two sisters Susan Elizabeth and Martha Ann Dorr (later Edwards) They were the children of Samuel and lucy Fox Dorr of Boston. The second George B. Dorr was the lone descendant of these five brothers and sisters (after the death of his older brother William in his twenties). While the Charles Dorrs gravitated to Maine, all the others summered in Lenox. The first George B. and Francis were in business together in New York as import merchants and lived together on Ninth Street in NYC. I have pieced together this genealogical material from Harvard Alumni records (on the first George B. who was the most active family member in Lenox), the Ancestry. com web site, Mt. Auburn Cemetery records, New York City Directories. I am always interested in learning more and would be most eager to know if you have run into any references to Highlawn in Lenox where I suspect George B. and his brother William came often as children. I'd be very interested to have a copy of your paper when it is done. Please let me know if you have further questions I might be able to answer. Best Wishes Cornelia B. Gilder 413-243-0161 P.O.
