55 Mount Vernon Street是四座紅磚排屋之一，據考由建築師Charles Bulfinch設計，於1804年由政客Jonathan Mason為女兒興建。此宅為該建築群中保存最完好的一幢，屬聯邦風格，並於1830年代增建了希臘復興風格門廊。Dr Arthur Nichols與妻子Elizabeth於1885年購下這座宅邸，而其長女Rose Standish Nichols——身兼園景規劃師、作家、爭取女性普選權活躍人士及和平主義者——在此生活直至1960年離世，並立下遺囑將其改建為博物館，於1961年正式對外開放。館內保留昔日風貌的展廳展現了這個家族的品味，陳列著Boston家具、法蘭德斯掛毯、中國瓷器，以及Augustus Saint-Gaudens創作的鍍金青銅胸像Victory，並伴隨一部1936年收音機等生活日常物件。宅邸僅限隨導賞團參觀，參觀路線跨越三層樓，不設升降機。
