Boston’s Tiffany Treasure
Built between 1899 and 1902 for businessman and art collector Frederick Ayer, the Ayer Mansion is the country’s only surviving residence designed entirely by famed American artisan, Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Named a National Historic Landmark in 2005, the Ayer Mansion exemplifies Tiffany’s astounding versatility. At the Ayer Mansion, Tiffany-designed stone and glass mosaics, graceful metalwork, Favrile glass, custom furniture, intricate plaster work, and elaborate stained glass windows all work together to create a masterpiece.
For almost 10 years, the Campaign for the Ayer Mansion has been restoring and preserving this singular treasure. Now home to the non-profit Bayridge Residence & Cultural Center, the Ayer Mansion is open twelve days a year and by appointment as well as during its annual lecture series and other public events.
Come experience Tiffany’s vision for a grand Boston home.
