The Charles H Fiske House is a 19th-century townhouse on Bay State Road in Boston, Massachusetts. Built during the development of the Back Bay's later residential streets, the house reflects the refined urban architecture of the period. Owner, Charles Henry Fiske, was a prominent Boston lawyer, while his wife Mary Duncan Thorndike was known for her civic advocacy and neighborhood improvement work. Their son, 2Lt Charles Henry Fiske III, served in France during World War I and was killed in action in 1918, adding a poignant family history to the home. - AsNotedIn
