Lonely Planet review for Hooper-Lee-Nichols House
This c 1685 Georgian mansion has been changed several times over the course of its 300-plus-year history, first to modernize and hide its original appearance, and then to recover its historically accurate appearance. Now the headquarters of the Cambridge Historical Society, the house is open for occasional architectural tours (check the website for the schedule, which fluctuates). Highlights include the massive stone fireplace in the Chandler room and hand-painted wallpaper in the Bosphorous room.
