Edith Coolidge

147 Beacon became the home of their son, attorney Harold Jefferson Coolidge, and his wife, Edith (Lawrence) Coolidge, who had married in February of 1903. Prior to their marriage, he had lived at 17 Exeter and she had lived at 59 Commonwealth with her father and step-mother, Amory Appleton Lawrence and Gertrude Major (Rice) Lawrence.

In about 1906, they remodeled the house to replace the Beacon Street entrance with a grade-level entrance on the Berkeley Street. From then on, the address was 303 Berkeley.

The Coolidges continued to live at 303 Berkeley until his death in July of 1934. They also maintained a home in Prides Crossing. In June of 1935, Edith (Lawrence) Coolidge married again, to James Amory Sullivan, an architect and artist.
