Chester Harding House, Federal architecture residence in Beacon Hill, Boston, United States.
The Chester Harding House stands as a four-story brick building at 16 Beacon Street, directly across from the Massachusetts State House.
Real estate developer Thomas Fletcher constructed this Federal-style residence in 1808, which later became home to portrait painter Chester Harding from 1826 to 1830.
The residence witnessed the transformation of art collector Dr. Henry C. Angell's collection and served as offices for the American Unitarian Association from 1919 to 1933.
The Boston Bar Association acquired the property in 1962 and continues to operate its headquarters within this National Historic Landmark building.
The structure remains one of the few surviving early nineteenth-century buildings on Beacon Street, maintaining its original Federal architectural elements despite surrounding modern development.
