Gibson House 於 1859 至 1860 年間落成,由 Edward Clarke Cabot 操刀設計,以赤褐色砂石和紅磚砌成意大利文藝復興復興風格,是 Back Bay 填海新生地最早建成的住宅之一。在 1859 至 1954 年間,Gibson 家族祖孫三代與家庭傭工一直居住於 137 Beacon Street;家族最後一位成員 Charles Hammond Gibson Jr. 隨後將大宅連同屋內陳設悉數捐出改作博物館,並於 1957 年對外開放。整幢五層高的宅邸完整封存了維多利亞時代的生活原貌,昔日的壁紙、織物、家具與家族私人物品至今仍完好陳列其中。大宅分別於 1992 年及 2001 年獲列為 Boston Landmark 與 National Historic Landmark,參觀者須跟隨導賞團入內遊覽。
