Beauport was the summer home of one of America’s first interior designers, Henry Davis Sleeper. Perched on a rock ledge overlooking Gloucester Harbor, Beauport's 40 rooms houses Sleeper’s collection of curiosities, colored glass, folk art, china, and silhouette. The tour is well worth it.
Beauport, the Sleeper-McCann House. Also called the Beauport Sleeper-McAnn House, this fantasy mansion of more than 40 rooms is perched on the rocks overlooking Gloucester Harbor.
Our favorite house museum! Beauport, the Sleeper-McCann House, a National Historic Landmark, was the summer home of one of America’s first professional interior designers, Henry Davis Sleeper. Perched on a rock ledge overlooking Gloucester Harbor, Beauport was Sleeper’s retreat, backdrop for entertaining, and professional showcase, and an inspiration to all who visited. Visit Beauport and see Sleeper’s lifetime collection of curiosities, colored glass, folk art, china, and silhouettes in every nook and alcove. Each of the forty rooms is distinguished by a historical or literary figure, theme, color, shape, or object. No two rooms are the same, and each is more visually dazzling than the last. $20 admission - it's worth it!
