an expert craftsman in Boston. William was an artist (a student of Lamar Dodd), New York designer and owner of a few successful businesses, including The Firehouse and Lilac Antiques. Waters' family originally hailed from Baltimore and for generations the family antiques were handed down, many of which ended up with Waters, including for example a family grandfather clock. In 1971, Waters donated the house to Historic New England, retaining a life tenancy. Waters died in 2016. In 2021, Historic New England opened the house as a museum under the name "Bowman House".
