Lewis Cabot Estate

The Lewis Cabot Estate was a 39-room mansion distinguished by Flemish curved gables, half-timbered stucco sections, and a wrought iron entrance structure. The building stood at the corner of Warren and Heath Streets as a residence for the prominent Cabot family.

The house was designed and built in 1895 by architect R. Clipston Sturgis for the Cabot family. It received National Register designation in 1985 but was demolished a decade later.

The property represented the architectural preferences of Boston's elite society and included landscaping designed by Frederick Law Olmsted's firm.

The building no longer stands at its original location, having been demolished in 1995 despite efforts to find preservation buyers. Visitors interested in the site's history can research the property's documentation and photographs from its years of operation.

From 1942 onward, the Discalced Carmelite Fathers used the main house as a religious residence and monastery. This shift from private family home to religious community space marked a significant change in how the structure was lived in and experienced.
