Charles Sumner House, Federal style residence in Beacon Hill, Boston, United States.
The Charles Sumner House features a four-story brick design with a front parlor, sitting room, and kitchen on the ground floor.
Built in 1806, this house belonged to Senator Charles Sumner, who played a crucial role in the anti-slavery movement until his death in 1874.
The residence stands as a testament to the abolitionist movement, where Sumner developed strategies to fight against slavery in the United States Senate.
The property maintains its original architectural elements, including the side hall plan layout and multiple formal reception rooms across different floors.
After Sumner's brutal beating in Congress in 1856, this house became a meeting point for anti-slavery activists and Republican party members.
