| Description | Frederic Sears Grand d'Hauteville was the son of Ellen (Sears) d'Hauteville, the estranged wife of Paul Daniel Gonsalve Grand d'Hauteville of Switzerland. Soon after Frederic d'Hautville's birth, his parents had separated and his mother had returned to the United States, engaging in a highly publicized, multi-state effort to prevent her husband from visiting or gaining custody of her son.
Frederic Sears Grand d'Hauteville had married in June of 1863 to Elizabeth Fish, daughter of Hamilton Fish of New York, and it appears likely that 188 Beacon was built as their Boston home. She died in March of 1864, and it is unclear whether he ever occupied the house.
188 Beacon Street was built ca. 1864 for Frederic Sears Grand d'Hauteville. il épousa en secondes noces Susan-Watts Kearny |
