House of the Seven Gables, Colonial mansion in Salem, United States.
The House of the Seven Gables features multiple peaked roofs, timber frame construction, and numerous rooms facing Salem Harbor from Derby Street.
John Turner, a merchant and ship owner, constructed this residence in 1668, which remained in his family for three generations until financial difficulties.
The mansion inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1851 novel and now functions as a museum showcasing colonial American architecture and maritime trading history.
