Harrison Gray Otis (1765-1848), a wealthy young lawyer who grew up during the American Revolution, built the Otis house in 1796. Otis was only thirty years old when he hired his friend, architect Charles Bulfinch, to design this elegant townhouse for himself, his wife Sally Foster Otis (1770-1836), and their four young children. Otis was elected to the United States House of Representatives when the family was living here. He went on to become a United States Senator in 1817, and then the third mayor of Boston in 1829.
