Boston, Massachusetts, 02108, United States of America, Solar System in the Milky Way Galaxy. In Boston, there is a neighborhood called Beacon Hill. In that neighborhood, Emily Moyra Byrne's childhood home is located on 52 Beacon Street. This is the place where Emily was born, because her mother Cecilia Anne Byrne did not want to have Emily in a hospital. The front exterior of Emily's childhood home is pictured below: |

The Byrne home on 52 Beacon Street is a residential two-story townhouse whose architecture is composed of brick row and characteristic of the Victorian period. The decorative aspects of this house include, but is not limited to, iron work such as gold door surrounds, brass door knockers and doorknobs. The house also includes, but is not limited to, brick sidewalks, gas lamps, ancient elms, flowering pear trees, window boxes, and hidden gardens, similar to most of the structures surrounding it. The house was designed by Emily's great-grandfather Kevin Yates Byrne IV in 1890 and, with his business connections to one of Beacon Hill's architectural commissions, it was built by contractors solely approved by Mr. Byrne for both sharing and carrying out his vision of what a home in the city should look like. It was completed in 1901 at the dawn of the 20th century. Since then, four generations of the Byrne family have lived in 52 Beacon Street at one time or another; presently, Emily's father and owner of the house, Frederick Thomas Byrne, lives there. Throughout, the house has stayed in the ownerhip of the Byrne family through inheritance rights by birth within the family. |
