הבית ברחוב 55 Mount Vernon Street הוא אחד מארבעה בתי לבנים טוריים המיוחסים לאדריכל Charles Bulfinch, שנבנו בשנת 1804 בידי הפוליטיקאי Jonathan Mason עבור בנותיו. זהו המבנה השמור ביותר מבין הקבוצה: בית בסגנון פדרלי שלחזיתו נוסף בשנות ה-30 של המאה ה-19 פורטיקו בסגנון התחייה היוונית. Dr Arthur Nichols ורעייתו Elizabeth רכשו את הבית ב-1885, ובתם הבכורה Rose Standish Nichols – אדריכלית נוף, סופרת, סופרג'יסטית ופציפיסטית – התגוררה בו עד מותה ב-1960 והורישה אותו לציבור, כשהוא נפתח כמוזיאון בשנת 1961. החדרים התקופתיים משקפים את טעמה הייחודי של המשפחה וכוללים ריהוט מקומי מ-Boston, שטיחי קיר פלמיים, כלי חרסינה סיניים ופרוטומה מברונזה מוזהבת של Victory מאת Augustus Saint-Gaudens, לצד חפצי יום-יום כמו מקלט רדיו משנת 1936. הביקור בבית מתאפשר אך ורק במסגרת סיור מודרך, והוא מתפרש על פני שלוש קומות ללא מעלית.
