Reference Error
editUnder section "Demolition and legacy", at the end of the second paragraph, the mansion is cited as being demolished in 2007, and claimed that the steps were kept and refurbished the following year. If you open the related citation (13): http://jamaicaplaingazette.com/2013/01/18/jp-history-john-hancocks-stairs-transcend-jamaica-pond/ This page says the steps were brought to Jamaica Pond in 1864 so clearly there is some discrepancy here. --Robotunicr0n (talk) 22:22, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hancock Manor was demolished in 1863. Its steps were brought to Jamaica Pond in 1864.
- Pinebank Mansion, completed 1870, was demolished in 2007. Those same steps were restored in 2008.

Article name
editCan we change this inflated title for the Thomas Hancock House (it's not tMassachusetts' only Hancock House), one that exists only in a world where "manor" has no significance other than "grand"? The house is no more a manor than it is a "stately manse". --Wetman 07:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- If it's sourced, why not? But I would first like to see a source calling it that, and articles on other Hancock Houses in MA. I know there are sources for "Hancock House" and "Hancock Mansion", so alternatively, go ahead and move it to those if you wish. Biruitorul 22:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Sections
editThis article has greatly improved in a short period of time - great work! Can I recommend, however, breaking the text into sections for easy skimming? --Midnightdreary 05:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Map
editWell-done article. But for the nth time on Wikipedia, the very thing I need to know, the very reason I consulted this article, is unanswered, and it fails.
At the risk of being pathetically obvious, give us a map showing the house's location today, and how it relates to the present addresses on Beacon St.
