Stewart and Leslie Mason Gallery

These pictures were taken in the Boston area on Saturday, 25 October 2003.  Funny thing about them is that the previous day I had taken a few pictures of the Lindsey residence on 225 Bay State Road, but inside Mount Auburn Cemetery all the pictures that I took before reaching the Lindsey plot were erased.  As the ones of the Lindseys remained, the rest of the day was spent scouting Lindsey family locations.  Here's the result of the walks around Boston, so enjoy and click on images for full size.


The former Lindsey residence at 225 Bay State Road, now operated by
Boston University and known as "The Castle."  This picture would have been much
better if the lamppost weren't in the way and there wasn't construction on the next corner.


The Castle's front door.  The swinging garden gate
with William Lindsey's initials has been removed.


The Castle's east wing.  The basement just below has been
converted into the University's pub.

 
South wing of The Castle.  The suite on the second floor belonged to Leslie.  Since then
it has been converted into a professor's office.  The first floor remains the same today as it was then.

Headstone
Leslie's headstone at Mount Auburn Cemetery.  On top is engraved the hymn title,
"KING-OF-LOVE-MY-SHEPHERD-IS".

IN THE SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA
Other members of the Lindsey family, Leslie's parents William and Anne, her brother
Kenneth and sister Dorothy, also have had dedications for them inscribed on the walls.

holding a reed organ.  On the right is Stewart as St. Martin, sharing his cloak with a beggar.
