The headline reads: “Beacon Hill Houses Left to Fogg Museum.”

The article reports that two Italian-style houses on Beacon Hill, along with their art collections, have been bequeathed to Harvard University’s Fogg Museum under the will of Dr. Richard P. Strong, a former Harvard Medical School professor. The will was filed in Suffolk Probate Court.
