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
19th and early 20th 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.
