Colonel Thomas H. Perkins, a dis-tinguished Bostonian of his time, occupied his house until about the year 1834, whenhe removed to the new house which he had built in Temple Place, and which is now, in an altered condition, the banking-room of the Provident Institution for Savings.James Perkins, a short time before his death in 1822, gave his mansion to the BostonAthenaeum, the institution acquiring additional land by purchase, and it was the homeof the Athenaeum from 1822 to 1849, when it removed to its present home on BeaconStreet.
