55 Mount Vernon Street 是被认为出自 Charles Bulfinch 之手的四栋砖砌排屋之一，由政治家 Jonathan Mason 于1804年为女儿们建造。该宅邸是其中保存最为完好的一座，整体呈联邦式风格，并在19世纪30年代增建了希腊复兴风格的门廊。1885年，Arthur Nichols 医生与妻子 Elizabeth 购入此屋；长女 Rose Standish Nichols——知名景观设计师、作家、女权参政倡导者兼和平主义者——在此生活直至1960年离世，并遗赠将房产于1961年作为博物馆向公众开放。馆内保存完好的历史房间展现了该家族独具一格的品味，陈列着波士顿工匠家具、法兰德斯挂毯、中国瓷器，以及 Augustus Saint-Gaudens 创作的镀金青铜胸像《胜利女神》（Victory），其间亦穿插着如1936年的收音机等日常生活旧物。参观本馆须全程由导览带领，展区共分三层，内部未设电梯。
