Vanishing Landmarks-These ancient doors are details of the last of Beacon Hill's "country houses," the Convent of St. Anne at 44 - 46 Temple street, which the city has condemned as unsafe. The door at the left, with its classic pediment, was put there by Bela Clapp, housewright, when he erected the building in 1787.
