Asa Gray House, Federal-style residence in Cambridge, US
The Asa Gray House at 88 Garden Street contains a two-story structure with five bays, hip roof, and detailed cornice work across its facade.
Harvard botanist Asa Gray lived in this 1810 house for over 40 years while developing his complete work on American flora and supporting Darwin's evolution theory.
The residence stands as a testament to American scientific advancement through its connection to botanical research and academic achievements at Harvard University.
The 7,588-square-foot property includes five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, and modern appliances following recent renovations in 2022 and 2023.
Architect Ithiel Town designed this house with an attached plant conservatory within the Harvard Botanic Garden, marking his earliest known architectural work.
