Frederick Ayer Mansion, National Historic Landmark mansion in Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

The Frederick Ayer Mansion at 395 Commonwealth Avenue features intricate mosaic designs and architectural elements created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in collaboration with Alfred Manning.

Built in 1900 for entrepreneur Frederick Ayer, the mansion represents the residential development period of Boston's Back Bay neighborhood during the late nineteenth century.

The mansion displays Moorish and Byzantine architectural elements through its stone mosaics, stained glass windows, and detailed interior decorative components.

The building functions as a private residence for college students under the management of the Trimount Foundation and Bayridge Residence and Cultural Center.

This mansion contains the only surviving exterior stone mosaics designed by Tiffany for a residential building in the United States.
