Fitz Henry Lane House, Gothic Revival house in Gloucester, Massachusetts
The three-story stone residence at 8 Harbor Loop Road features architectural elements characteristic of the 1840s Gothic Revival movement in New England.
The house, constructed in 1849 by maritime artist Fitz Henry Lane, remained his residence until his death in 1865 and gained National Register status in 1970.
The preservation of this structure during the 1950s Urban Renewal program reflects local efforts to maintain significant architectural and artistic heritage in Gloucester.
Located on Duncan's Point, the house sits within a municipal park and provides visitors with direct views across Gloucester Harbor from its elevated position.
The building represents one of the few examples where an American maritime painter designed and constructed his own residence in the nineteenth century.
