This architecture-focused tour covers the entire history of 55 Mount Vernon Street, from its construction in 1804, through the Nichols family’s residency, to the museum era. Visitors will take an in-depth look at the structure, identifying changes made over time, including going behind the scenes to explore a few rarely visited areas of the building.


55 Mount Vernon Street was built as part of the Mount Vernon Proprietors' development of the South Slope of Beacon Hill. The design is attributed to Charles Bulfinch, Boston’s star architect of the day. Commissioned by one of the proprietors as a home for his daughter, his descendants owned the home until 1885, when it was sold to the Nichols family. The eldest Nichols daughter, Rose, inherited the house in the 1930s and later willed it to be a museum. It has been open to the public since 1961.
