House of the Seven Gables (the actual house)

The House of the Seven Gables is a historic colonial mansion in Salem, Massachusetts, built in the 17th century. Known for its distinctive architecture and connections to colonial history, it features a complex facade with multiple gables (the triangular sections at the roofline). The house is significant for its age, architecture, and association with the Pynchon family, and it gained literary fame through Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel of the same name. Today, it's a museum open to the public, offering insight into colonial life and American history.
