Excerpt from The Bostonian Society Publications, Vol. 11 SO probably it was pardonable vanity in the residents South of Mason Street to consider themselves dwellers in Colonnade Row, as long as the directories and the world at large bestowed that distinction upon them, without their even asking for it. A number of chroui clers, generally regarded as good authorities, state that the Row contained twenty-four houses. According to that theory the present Evans House would have been the southernmost house in the Row. But as stated before, the claim was unwarranted, an excellent reason being that there was no colonnade south Of Mason Street.
