Built in 1768, this Georgian home preserves rare hand-painted English wallpaper and original rococo wood carvings.
Description
Constructed by American craftsmen for Jeremiah Lee, then the wealthiest merchant in Colonial Massachusetts, the mansion survives in a nearly original state. Its preserved wallpapers are notable as the only such wall treatments surviving in place. Inside, the rooms display early American furniture crafted by Boston, Salem, and Marblehead cabinet-makers, accompanied by 18th- and 19th-century decorative arts that range from ceramics and silver to mirrors, clocks, and textiles.
