But only one 115 Commonwealth Ave has interesting history ... for us anyway

(Easy for me to say)

John Wilkes Booth purchased property in the newly developed Back Bay area, at 115 Commonwealth Avenue in 1863. This was not a speculative financial purchase. His brother resided in Boston for 15 years. Instructions to the real estate agent were clear that this would be his home.

John Wilkes Booth stayed at the Parker House [Boston] in April 1865. He practiced shooting with a pistol on School Street over the five-day stay in April 1865.
