The first home of the Paul Revere Pottery, founded in 1908 by librarian Edith Guerrier (1870-1958) and artist Edith Brown (1872- 1932) and funded by philanthropist Helen Osborne Storrow (1864-1944), was in the basement of this building. Reflecting the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the pottery provided worthwhile employment for young North End Italian and Jewish women.
The lower floors of the building served as the Library Club House under the supervision of Guerrier where young women formed clubs for reading, storytelling, and dramatics named for the meeting times.
