Preserving a Tradition of Excellence

Exhibiting a unique blend of Moorish and Byzantine design, Bayridge's foyer and exterior is replete with elegant Tiffany glass arches, mosaics, windows, ornamental insets and fixtures. In Built in Boston City and Suburb (Boston, 1978), architectural historian Douglass Shand Tucci describes the 395 Commonwealth Avenue building, built at the turn of last century by A.J. Manning in association with Louis Comfort Tiffany, as "perhaps the most progressive design of this period."

It embodies an American and New England tradition of intellectual exchange, elegant ambiance, and appropriateness of decoration in keeping with the flavor of Boston's Back Bay. Bayridge wants to preserve and build on the rich heritage this house has enjoyed from its inception.
