"230 Clarendon Street (109 Newbury Street) was built ca. 1871, designed by architect Charles Amos Cummings as his home. He and his wife, Margaret (Kimball) Cummings, lived there for the rest of their lives.

In his Houses of Boston’s Back Bay, Bainbridge Bunting described the house as "the first Back Bay dwelling to carry the Medieval guise beyond an occasional pointed window. ... this dwelling seeks to compress too many 'Medieval' forms into a dwelling on a modest 25-foot corner lot." It demonstrates Cummings's "penchant for contrasting materials: salmon-colored pressed brick, cream-colored Nova Scotia sandstone, black (tar-impregnated) brick, and slate in three colors."

The dining room was illustrated in The Book of American Interiors, by Charles Wyllys Elliott, published in 1876.

Charles Commungs died in August of 1905. Margaret Cummings continued to live there until her death in July of 1922. Their daughter, Margaret, also lived there until her mother's death.

By 1925, 230 Clarendon had become a retail and office building, which it remained in 2010."
