Backstory
In 1949, the ten-storey Putnam-Moore Department Store—in what is now Downtown Crossing—closed its doors and radio station WPM moved its operations to the old vaudeville theater next door. But it was not the only move made that year.
On The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour, Frank and Amelia moved into the Adams family home on Beacon Hill after Amelia's father, Ephraim J. Adams, left it to her in his will. With this move they also inherited the Adams' long-suffering butler, Chelmsford, along with an unusual assortment of neighbors and nuisances.
Domestic life soon proves to be more than a match for Amelia, while Frank finds that being rich has its advantages...some of the time.
