Mary Baker Eddy House, National Historic Landmark in Diamond District, Lynn, United States
The Italianate residence at 8 Broad Street features paired brackets along the gables, eaves, and window caps of its wooden frame structure.
Mary Baker Glover purchased this house in 1875 and completed the manuscript of Science and Health while residing in the small attic room.
The parlor of this house hosted the first meetings of the Church of Christ Scientist association, established on July 4, 1876.
