In 2011, 2 Spruce Street on Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts was purchased by Emerson College and it became the President’s home. There was talk that the property built in 1914 originally did not have exterior shutters. However, a photo was located through the Massachusetts Historical Society showing shutters on the building around the turn of the century. The Boston Landmark Commission approved the craftsmen at Seaport Shutter Company to manufacture historic Architecturally Correct shutters for the federal style property.
