Boston - Gibson House

 
Gibson House is a Victorian row house built in 1859 when Boston's Back Bay was just starting out as the city's upscale residential neighborhood. Today the house is a museum filled with original Gibson family period furnishings like black-walnut woodwork, imported carpets, and 18th-century decorative arts. The kitchen, scullery, butler's pantry and water closets, as well as formal rooms and private family quarters provide a glimpse into the lives of a well-to-do Boston family.

The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
