Athens, Jerusalem, and Bostoncame together in the thoughts of the Jewish lawyer whose Boston residences stand today at 114 Mt. Vernon Street and 6 Otis Place. World famous and outspoken on Jewish issues, Louis Dembitz Brandeis lived the life of an enlightened, activist-intellectual. The Mt. Vernon Street and Otis Place homes should serve as reminders of that life.Brandeis purchased 114 Mt. Vernon Street in 1890, just prior to his marriage to Alice Goldmark. He and his wife lived there for ten years. In 1900, they moved with their daughters to 6 Otis Place, where they lived until 1916. Both locations offered urban stability, Charles Riverside tranquility, and convenience to downtown Boston. Most often, the Brandeis family, spent the Winter months in their Boston residences. After Louis' appointment in 1916 as a Justice of the US Supreme Court, the Brandeis Winter home relocated to Washington, DC. 114 Mt. Vernon Street and 6 Otis Place served as a social venue for Brandeis' friends. At both these locations, Louis and Alice socialized with some of their immediate neighbors as well as with visitors from around the world. In these homes, Louis and Alice, also, raised their two daughters, Susan and Elizabeth. The Brandeis family was close-knit and devoted to education. Susan, later,
became a lawyer and Elizabeth became an economist.
From this Otis Place residence,Brandeis, in his prime advocacy years, his fifties and sixties, was both a local and national voice for democracy, morality, and moderate/healthy living. His advocacy was not by words alone, but also by his legal counsel to defendants and plaintiffs, his advise to incoming US President Woodrow Wilson, and his daily, long, urban walks.His advocacy included such concepts as:
Brandeis' many visitors on Mt. Vernon Street and Otis Place included proper and not-so-proper Bostonians, non-Jews, and Jews. Since the Brandeis' homes were conveniently located, visitors could easily walk to them from the Southend, Westend and Northend as well as from the Back Bay, and Beacon Hill. Some of these visitors names are recognizable even today:
One of many books commemorating Louis D. Brandeis' life is "Brandeis of Boston" by Allon Gal, Harvard University Press, Cambridge MA, 1980.
