"A second example of the Egyptian Revival style on Beacon Hill was built ca. 1875 on the North Slope at 57 Hancock Street and designed by William Washburn. It is an important example of a rare style which was infrequently used for domestic building. The imposing five-story red brick structure raises the pylon-shaped dormers of what Douglas Shand-Tucci has characterized as 'an Egyptian mansard roof unique in Boston and possibly in America' to take advantage of the skyline and high corner site."
