The Junior League of Boston is sponsoring the 2017 Designer Show House at the 1853 William Flagg Homer House in Belmont, MA, just steps away from picturesque downtown Belmont. The house is currently owned and preserved by the
Belmont Woman’s Club, and was previously owned by William Flagg Homer and his wife Adeline Wellington, uncle and aunt of American landscape painter, Winslow Homer. The house, an architectural combination of both the Bracketed Italianate and French Mansard style, is set on a hill, with sweeping views of the Boston Skyline. This is a charitable event with proceeds going to non-profit organizations for the benefit of women and community.
Meet Eileen at the entrance of this historic house, followed by lunch at the Patou Thai restaurant. Tickets costing $20 + $5.25 service fee are currently available online through Goldstar. Tickets purchased between now and October 6 via the Junior League website are $35, after that, $40 online or at the door.
Public Transportation:
The Belmont commuter rail station (Fitchburg) line from North Station) is a short walk to the house. You can also take the #72, 74 or 75 bus from Harvard Square (Red Line connection). Short walk from the house to the restaurant on Leonard Street.
Parking:
No on-site parking, but steep driveway allows for drop off and pick up at the entrance. There is 90-minute metered parking on Leonard Street and a few 2-hour parking spots on Moore Street. There is a municipal parking lot on Claflin Street and free parking behind the restaurant for customers.
