Gibson House Museum - preserved Victorian brownstone

The Gibson House Museum at 137 Beacon Street is a preserved mid-19th-century Boston brownstone that retains original architectural features, furnishings, and family papers documenting upper-middle-class urban life. Operated as a house museum, it offers guided tours and exhibits interpreting domestic life, social customs, and urban change in Boston from the 1850s through the early 20th century. The building's detailed preservation has made it a frequent reference in local lore about Boston's Victorian-era society.
