Jim Horne notes:

38-Down: The "Proper Bostonian" Stereotype: The phrase "Proper Bostonian" historically refers to the Boston Brahmins—the city's traditional upper class, known for their old money, elite lineage, and highly reserved, aristocratic manners. Louisburg Square has long been considered the absolute epicenter of this elite society. Grand, late-Federal-period brick rowhouses line a private, gated park owned collectively by the residents.
