This 17th-century Salem mansion was the inspiration for Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel of the same name. Also named the Turner-Ingersoll mansion, 'seven gables' refers to its seven triangular points above the roofline. Built in 1688, this house contains a hidden staircase and is located on Salem Harbor. The house where Hawthorne was born has been moved to this property and is also on the tour. Guided tours are conducted throughout the year. Visit the website for further details.
