aug 19, 1923 - 1923 Pickman Moves

Description:

Under the name of Peters, Richard Pickman rents an old boarded-up, tumbled-down shack in the North End not far from the elevated train on Battery Street and not too many blocks from Copp's Hill Burying Ground. The shack is somewhere between Battery and Carter Streets. There are thirty or forty alleys and networks of alleys north of Prince Street that pass unnoticed by many except the foreigners who swarm them.

The Museum of Fine Arts refuses to accept Pickman's
Ghoul Feeding as a gift.
