The family is seated on the steps of the mansion which was completed in late 1902 for George Henry Wightman, a wealthy steel magnate who worked with Andrew Carnegie. His son was an attorney who was married to Hazel Hotchkiss, a tennis champion. His daughter, Elizabeth Pope, lived across the street at 16 Monmouth and her family took over the mansion after the death of her mother in 1939. The building is used today by Boston University.
