Great article as always! And I have to admit that I had no idea about the Frankenstein statue, though I must have walked past it a thousand times. I'll check it out. You may enjoy this article about Mary Shelley's time out here--it's one of my favorites, and a few years ago there were a lot of commemorative events about that famous summer she, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron (along with a few others) spent alongside the Leman.

To be fair, Sisi didn't die in the hotel.

That is now (sigh) Historic Landmark Boston City Hall.
