يُعد 55 Mount Vernon Street واحداً من أربعة منازل متلاصقة مبنية من الطوب، تُنسب إلى المعماري Charles Bulfinch وشيدها السياسي Jonathan Mason عام 1804 لبناته؛ وهو أفضل هذه المجموعة حفظاً، ويتميز بطرازه الفيدرالي مع رواق معمد ينتمي إلى إحياء العمارة اليونانية أُضيف في ثلاثينيات القرن التاسع عشر. اشترى Dr Arthur Nichols وزوجته Elizabeth المنزل عام 1885، وعاشت فيه ابنتهما الكبرى Rose Standish Nichols — مهندسة الحدائق والكاتبة والناشطة في الدفاع عن حقوق المرأة والسلام — حتى وفاتها عام 1960، حيث أوصت بفتحه للجمهور كمتحف في عام 1961. تعكس الغرف التاريخية المفروشة ذوق العائلة الخاص، وتضم أثاثاً من Boston، ومنسوجات جدارية فلمنكية، وخزفاً صينياً، وتمثالاً نصفياً برونزياً مذهباً يمثل إلهة النصر Victory نحته Augustus Saint-Gaudens، إلى جانب مقتنيات يومية مثل مذياع يعود لعام 1936. لا يمكن زيارة المنزل إلا عبر جولة بصحبة مرشد، ويمتد عبر ثلاثة طوابق لا يتوفر بها مصعد.
