Shows fine light scratches two small dings All 3 burners are included without wicks The Hotel Brewster located at the corner of Washington and Boylston streets in Boston, Massachusetts, opened on October 14, 1908. According to the Boston Daily Globe, this lavish and beautifully-appointed hotel with 200 rooms was managed at opening by the Ainslie & Grabow Company, whose system of hotels also included theLenox, Empire and Tuileries of Boston at the time. In 1909, famed actressCharlotte Mignon ("Lotta") Crabtree known for her youthful singing and dancing in burlesque and comic acts across the nation purchased the Hotel Brewster, and lived there until September 25, 1924, when she died at the age of 77. Estimated at $4,000,000, her estate was left to charitable organizations, with donations for World War I veterans and for "dumb animals," destitute thespians, and discharged convicts." Most of her estate, however, was donated to an agriculture school known today as the University of Massachusetts Amherst, for Lotta believed: "Educated farmers would be kinder to animals."
