Nickerson Mansion, 1883 residential landmark in Brewster, Massachusetts.
The white limestone three-story mansion spans 24,000 square feet and features an Italianate exterior with sandstone accents and ornate marble interiors.
Samuel Mayo Nickerson, a leading figure in banking and commercial shipping, built this mansion in 1883 for $450,000 during Massachusetts maritime commerce expansion.
The mansion displays the architectural preferences of 19th-century New England elite, combining Italian design elements with American craftsmanship and materials.
The mansion opens for guided tours from Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours during summer months and special exhibitions throughout the year.
The building incorporates early fireproof construction techniques, using reinforced masonry with brick and iron beams to prevent destruction by fire.
