From the opening of the Tremont Street Studio Building in 1861, it served as the headquarters of Boston’s art community in the second half of the 19th century, even hosting an annual exhibition. Gerry usually spent his winters in a studio there and could be observed during open-studio receptions transforming his summer and fall sketches into paintings.
