The New York Times dated April 19, 1931, New York: Edward Robinson, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1910, died in his home at 84 Irving Place yesterday morning after an illness of several months. His age was 72. He was recognized as one of the world's leading experts on classical art in all its forms...

Genealogies of Back Bay Houses (Boston, MA): During the 1899-1900 winter season, 181 Beacon was the home of Edward Robinson and his wife, Elizabeth Hebard (Gould) Robinson. They previously had lived in an apartment at Haddon Hall at 282 Berkeley. Edward Robinson was an archaeologist, curator of classical antiquities for the Museum of Fine Arts, and a lecturer on antiquities at Harvard. In 1905 he became director of the MFA and later became director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. By the 1900-1901 winter season, the Robinsons were living at 200 Beacon.

Note: I'm not very good at the five boroughs, but I think I found that Gramercy Park to be at Manhattan. I think he may have a death cert at Boston. 2) I was unable to find the create date for Back Bay Houses, but there were entries in 2013.
