HAYMARKET THEATRE FROM TREMONT STREET
From a water-color by Archibald Robertson, a Scotch artist,
who visited this country about 1790. He was Washington
Allston’s drawing master. The picture is dated 1798. It once
belonged to John Howard Payne, author of “ Home, Sweet
Home.” The arch on the right is the West Street gate of the
Common. Across the Street is the ancient Haymarket, occu-
pying the space now between Mason and Tremont Streets. Be-
hind the hayloads is Haymarket Theatre, opened December
26, 1796, and, because it failed to compete with the Boston
Theatre, torn down in 1803. Opposite is “ Billy Foster’s
house,” at Tremont and Boylston streets, where the Flotel Pel-
ham now Stands. Behind are the waters of the Back Bay.
Sizes 10 x 12 and 16 x 20. Prices £2.50 to $15.00.
Illustrated brochure sent on request.
