Nathan Appleton Residence, National Historic Landmark residence in Beacon Hill, Boston, United States
The Nathan Appleton Residence comprises two connected brick townhouses at 39-40 Beacon Street, featuring three-story facades with rounded projections and Doric porticos.
Built in 1821, this residence belonged to textile manufacturer Nathan Appleton and hosted the 1843 wedding of his daughter Frances to poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The building served as the Women's City Club of Boston from 1914 through the 1990s, representing social changes in urban Massachusetts society.
The property now contains multiple condominium units and stands as an example of early 19th-century residential architecture with later modifications including a fourth floor.
The residence features mirror-image townhouses joined by a common firewall, with each main facade containing three bays and rounded projections housing two windows.
