Ah, my Google-fu is still up to par (Steve's too). You definately want Beacon Hill, that's the section of Boston that the wealthy lived in this era. Oliver Wendell Holmes dubbed the people in this neighborhood as "Boston Brahmans" in 1860. Here's the Brahman link:

Here's info on Beacon Hill.

Thanks Steve, that's perfect. Especially the details about it being where the abolitionist movement was strong in Boston. Just the place for Kate's family.

Thanks for the tip Rick, sounds like you were right.

I thought it was fitting.

much of Beacon Hill is probably unchanged from the 1880's. So current pictures of the old Brownstones or government buildings would give you a good feel for the area. That is definitely the 'blue blood' area of Boston & New England.

Not yet from the look of it. Gads! I'm glad we're moving to a new host soon, this previous one is rediculous.
