Welcome to the Scollay Square website

Burlesque Queens!  Vaudeville Comics! Hot Dogs, Tassels - even George Washington - they're all here on the Scollay Square web site. Created by the author of the only two books ever written exclusively about Scollay Square, this website is packed with pictures and stories of the people and the places that drew millions here during its 120-year reign as Boston's entertainment district. There are also pages filled with postcards, movie clips, and even some rare recordings of Sally Keith singing. We are also compelled to offer this page of regrettable errata from both books.

We want to hear YOUR memories...

...and add them to our page of Scollay Square memories from many who worked or played there. If you or a friend or a relative has a story or a photo you would be willing to share, please email David.

The Scollay Family Page

Over the years we have been contacted by descendants of the family who gave the Square its name. Some have also asked for help with genealogical research. Please visit this page and feel free to write if with any questions - or answers - about this family.
