Hancock Manor, Colonial mansion in Beacon Hill, US
The three-story granite residence at 30 Beacon Street measured 56 feet in length and contained fifty-three windows, including multiple dormers.
Thomas Hancock constructed this estate between 1734 and 1737, marking the first residence erected on the summit of Beacon Hill west of Boston.
The interior featured wallpaper with nature motifs, mahogany furniture, oil portraits, and a wooden hall designed for social gatherings of high society.
British military forces used the building as their headquarters during the Siege of Boston in 1775, causing substantial damage through pillaging.
Before its 1863 demolition, architect John Hubbard Sturgis created detailed measurements and drawings, enabling later replicas in Chicago and Ticonderoga.
