The Brandeis Town Home

So, you say you’re a fan of Louis Brandeis, the HLS valedictorian of the class of 1877 who served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1916-1939.

You’ve read Brandeis biographies by Baskerville, Todd, Gross, Strum, Paper, Urofsky, Gal, Noble, Mason, and De Haas, and you skimmed Teitelbaum’s bibliography.

You devoured Brandeis’ collections of essays edited by Pollack and by Lief.

You digested his letters to family and to Felix Frankfurter.

You thumbed through his writings on democracy, on banking, and on business.

You even perused the HLS library’s 119-box collection of Brandeis’ papers, admired his portrait hanging at north end of the Langdell Reading Room, and glanced at the catalog from our 1994 exhibit commemorating his life.

For you, there may only be this one stone unturned: for a mere $5,375,000, you can now own Justice Brandeis’ former home on Beacon Hill. Be the envy of all your friends as you ponder the legacy of Brandeis’ seminal 1890 “Right to Privacy” law review article while sitting in front of one of the home’s seven fireplaces that likely inspired some of the most significant legal reasoning in U.S. history.
