Francis Parkman House, National Historic Landmark townhouse on Beacon Hill, Boston, United States.

The Francis Parkman House stands as a three-story brick structure with stone trim and two bays, featuring a round-arched entrance with sidelight windows.

Francis Parkman, a prominent historian, resided in this Federal-style house from 1865 to 1893, where he wrote substantial portions of his works.

The residence represents the architectural heritage of 1820s Boston and exemplifies the period when Beacon Hill became a center of intellectual life.

The building contains four separate apartments while maintaining its original woodwork, plasterwork, and architectural elements from the nineteenth century.

The third-floor study served as the workspace where Parkman, despite his medical conditions, composed his influential historical narratives about colonial North America.
