Abbotsford, Historic house museum in Roxbury, Boston, United States.
Located at 300 Walnut Avenue, Abbotsford showcases High Victorian Gothic architecture with pointed arches, constructed entirely from local Roxbury puddingstone material.
Built in 1872 for industrialist Aaron Davis Williams by architect Alden Frink, the building later served as a disciplinary school before becoming a museum.
The National Center of Afro-American Artists operates the museum, displaying historical and contemporary black visual arts, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs.
Located on an elevated position in Roxbury, visitors should verify current opening hours and parking arrangements before planning their visit.
The structure, originally named Oak Bend, was renamed Abbotsford after Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott's residence and required $365,000 for construction in 1870.
