About this place
The Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, known as the House of the Seven Gables, was built in 1668 for Salem sea captain John Turner. In 1910, philanthropist and preservationist, Caroline Emmerton, founded The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association to steward this seventeenth-century treasure. Capitalizing on the mansion's connection to American author Nathaniel Hawthorne (who used it as the setting for his 1851 novel, The House of the Seven Gables), Emmerton rescued it, restored it and with the help of architect Joseph Everett Chandler, opened it to the public as a museum. She used the ticket-sale proceeds to fund social services for Salem's newly arrived immigrants. Today, The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association is dedicated to continuing Emmerton's work by preserving this National Historic Landmark District and leveraging its power as American icon to engage diverse audiences and provide educational opportunities for the local immigrant community.
