The WH Prescott House, at 55 Beacon Street, and the adjoining home at 54 Beacon are across from the Boston Common. They were built in 1808 for the Boston merchant, James Smith Colburn. These brick town houses were designed by the esteemed American architect Asher Benjamin and are highlighted by two bow-fronts and were voted in the top 8 examples of Federal architecture by Boston Curbed. The American historian, William H. Prescott, lived at number 55 Beacon Street from 1845-1859. Prescott was one of the first English-speaking historians to write about the Spanish Empire. He built a rear addition, which included his extensive library on the second floor, and a third floor study. In 1944 the house was purchased by the NSCDA- MA. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. Voted by Boston Magazine "one of 7 house museums not to miss."
