Jim Shulman | Baby Boomer Memories: The hunt for the lion cu

Following my recent Berkshire Eagle column about the hunt for a lion rug, a reader wrote and asked me if I knew anything about another local lion.
As a youngster, she remembered her Great Barrington dentist, Dr. Wilfred Millet, had a stuffed lion cub in his office, but she never knew why. I had actually researched this unusual office décor about 15 years ago. It turned out to be another mysterious “lion hunt” and a story worth sharing.
The Academy of Music building on North Street in Pittsfield, left, hosted the Frank C. Bostock wild animal show in its auditorium in March 1903. The building, built in 1872, burned to the ground in 1912 and was replaced by a new building, which now houses the Juvenile Court.
