8059	Jane Augusta “Jennie” (Lathrop) Rand's House in Winter	Image, Photograph, Photographic Print, Albumen Print	Structures, Dwellings, House	Rand - Henry Lathrop Rand (1862-1945)		1892-11-05	Boston MA area, Cambridge	49 Kirkland Street	The house in the background is now the Nieman Foundation’s Walter Lippmann House at One Francis Street. It was built in 1836 by Ebenezer Francis, a carpenter and Harvard custodian. The street, of course, was named for him. In 1892, when Henry Lathrop Rand took the photograph while living at his mother’s house across Francis Street on the corner at 49 Kirkland Street, the Francis Street house was still listed on maps as the Eben Francis House. Harvard University bought the Francis property in 1974 and gave it to the Nieman Foundation. It was Christened as the Walter Lippmann house on September 23, 1979 with much fanfare attended by a raft of famous journalists and political persons. They celebrated by breaking a bottle of champagne on its front steps. Henry would have been fascinated.
