@moments.in.time0: POV: You Are Rich Woman (Boston, 1860) In 1860, living on Beacon Hill in Boston means you are part of an incredibly exclusive old money world. Your day begins in a luxurious private bedroom where a valet dresses you for the morning. You step out onto the granite stoop and climb into a private horse drawn carriage. As you ride past the Boston Common, you see the gold dome of the State House rising above the summer trees. This social circle is incredibly tight and deeply connected. You spend the afternoon reading at the Boston Athenaeum, an elite private library where membership is passed down through generations. Later, you make a formal afternoon call in a quiet walled garden. Every introduction and every conversation is dictated by strict social rules. Returning home at dusk, you change into formal evening wear for a lavish candlelit dinner. You finish the night listening to live piano music in the drawing room while gas lamps flicker on the brick streets outside. Could you thrive in this highly structured world of 1860s high society? #POV #BostonHistory #OldMoney #BeaconHill #1860
