As one of only several remaining Royal Colonial Governor's residences in the United States, the Georgian-style structure is an architectural and historical treasure, spanning the development of our nation, our commonwealth, and local communities from the mid-18th century to the present.

In 1991, Shirley Place was awarded the prestigious Boston Preservation Alliance Award for best restored small-scale structure in the City of Boston. This former summer estate of William Shirley, Royal Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony and Commander-in-Chief of all British forces in North America, was re-modeled by Federalist-era Massachusetts Governor William Eustis. The mansion has hosted a who's who of Colonial and Federalist America. Shirley Place and its grounds are a hidden gem located in Roxbury's Dudley neighborhood.

Tours are offered on the hour. The mansion is only accessible by stairs.

How do you coach a team member who's not pulling their weight? How do you say no to a customer you've built a long-term relationship with? How do you provide effective feedback without creating damaging conflict?

Uncomfortable workplace conversations are never easy but when managed well, they can be enormously effective. Suffolk University and SPARK Boston invite you to join us for an insightful panel discussion on this nearly universal challenge. Our panelists are leaders from a range of different industries and they'll share advice you can immediately put into action.

Register for the event

Our event is conveniently located right at Suffolk University's downtown Boston campus at 120 Tremont Street. Complimentary light refreshments will be provided. There will be an opportunity to network after the panel.
