Edward Clarke Cabot arkitektoaren diseinuei jarraituz 1859-1860 bitartean eraikia, Gibson House Back Bayko lur bete berrietan altxatu zen lehen etxeetako bat izan zen, hareharri marroiz eta adreilu gorriz egindako pizkunde italiarreko estiloko ilarako etxe bat. Gibson familiako hiru belaunaldi eta haien zerbitzariak 137 Beacon Street helbidean bizi izan ziren 1859tik 1954ra bitartean; haietako azkenak, Charles Hammond Gibson Jr. jaunak, etxea eta bertako ondasun guztiak museo bihurtzeko utzi zituen, eta 1957an zabaldu zituen ateak. Horri esker, ezohiko osotasuna duen barrualde viktoriar bat kontserbatu da, bost solairutan banatutako jatorrizko horma-paper, ehun, altzari eta familia-objektuekin. 1992an Boston Landmark eta 2001ean National Historic Landmark izendatua, etxea bisita gidatu bidez soilik ikus daiteke.
