Event Note: Ellis Boston Antique Show Gala to Benefit Ellis Memorial

The proceeds from the Ellis Boston Antique Show, Thursday October 20th, go to support 
Ellis Memorial, Boston’s first settlement house, which has been caring for children, disabled adults, and families who live and work in the South End and adjacent neighborhoods since 1885. Ellis offers high quality educational, social, and health support services to individuals and families in need within safe, nurturing and diverse environments.


Ellis Memorial & Eldredge House was founded in 1885 as part of the Settlement House movement. Throughout its rich and varied history, Ellis Memorial has remained true to its mission. Today, Ellis Memorial operates as a non-profit social service agency with programs at 66 Berkeley Street, 95 Berkeley Street, One Chandler Street, Tent City, and Madison Park Village. The following timeline tracks some of the ways in which one settlement house has altered its services and structure to meet changing times and needs while staying true to its original mission of serving neighbors in the South End community.
