Gore Place, Federal mansion in Waltham, Massachusetts.
The Gore Place estate spans 45 acres with a 190-foot-long brick mansion, extensive gardens, walking paths, and a functioning farm on the grounds.
Massachusetts Governor Christopher Gore and his wife Rebecca built this country estate in 1806, later hosting distinguished guests including President James Monroe and Lafayette.
The mansion displays Federal architecture with its balanced wings, classical details, and English-made materials that traveled across the Atlantic and up the Charles River.
The estate grounds remain free to visit daily, while guided tours of the mansion interior require admission fees and advance reservations.
The property maintains preserved domestic staff quarters that demonstrate the evolution of household labor practices throughout different time periods.
