Kaplan creates reproductions of furniture pieces from Beacon Hill homes. The end papers are a "Map of Beacon Hill, showing sites of historic houses and points of interest of the Georgian era." A section in the back of the catalog displays the furniture in the showrooms of the B. Altman department store in New York City and Barker Bros. in Los Angeles. The catalog has an index. The cover title reads "Beacon Hill collection as interpreted and made by the Kaplan Furniture Company at their cabinet shops in the shadow of Beacon Hill at ninety-one Albany Street in the town of Cambridge, Massachusetts."
