Visit three centuries of American domestic life at:

Paul Revere House

Built in 1680 and owned by the American Patriot Paul Revere from 1770 - 1800, this wooden structure is one of the oldest houses standing in an American city.

Harrison Gray Otis House

Designed by America's first architect, Charles Bulfinch, this federal brick mansion was the first of three houses Otis comissioned from him. Remarkably, all three still stand. The Otis House today is the headquarters of Historic New England (formerly the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities).

Nichols House

Also designed by Charles Bulfinch, this federal brick row house sits on top of Beacon Hill. Established as a museum by Rose Nichols, its intimate interiors reflect the evolving tastes of the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries.

Prescott House

Federal townhouse by Asher Benjamin overlooking the Boston Common. Substantially enlarged by the historian William H. Prescott in the middle of the nineteenth century, it today is the headquarters of the Massachusetts chapter of the Colonial Dames in America.
