Isabella Stewart Gardner הקימה את Fenway Court בין השנים 1896 ל-1903 כמעין ארמון ונציאני מן המאה ה-15 שהופך את פניו כלפי פנים: גלריות המקיפות חצר פנימית מקורה בזכוכית, הפורחת במלוא הדרה לאורך כל החורף של Boston. על פי צוואתה, סידורם של יותר מ-7,500 המוצגים הוקפא בדיוק כפי שהותירה אותו, כך שיצירותיהם של Titian, Rembrandt, Botticelli ו-Vermeer מוצגות עד היום במקבצים אינטימיים ועמוסים לפי טעמה האישי. ב-18 במרץ 1990 נכנסו למקום גנבים מחופשים לשוטרים ויצאו עם 13 יצירות בשווי מוערך של כ-500 מיליון דולר; המסגרות הריקות עדיין תלויות ב-Dutch Room, ממתינות לשובן. בשנת 2012 נחנך לצד הארמון אגף זכוכית ונחושת בשטח של כ-6,500 מ"ר בתכנונו של Renzo Piano, המוקדש לתערוכות מתחלפות, לקונצרטים ולתוכנית שהות אמן (artist-in-residence).
