William Lloyd Garrison House
William Lloyd Garrison House, National Historic Landmark residence in Roxbury, Boston, United States
A two-story Italianate frame house stands on Highland Park Street, featuring Greek Revival details and a prominent entrance with sidelight windows.
William Lloyd Garrison, publisher of The Liberator and leading abolitionist, resided in this house from 1864 until his death in 1879.
The Rock Ledge Improvement Association, formed by African American community members, maintained the property from 1900 to 1904 to honor Garrison's legacy.
Emmanuel College acquired the property in 2012, transforming it into the Notre Dame Campus for educational programs, spiritual direction, and social justice initiatives.
The residence, known as Rockledge, sits atop a natural stone formation that provides clear views of downtown Boston from its elevated position.
