From the Zillow listing:
Welcome to the 1874 Lummis-Wesson estate. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of history. This Gothic Victorian was designed by the Boston firm of Ware & Van Brunt, the two men that designed Harvard’s Memorial Hall. This stunning home was owned by the Wesson family (Smith & Wesson) for a very long time. While in the home you’ll enjoy plenty of space, a breathtaking staircase, 9 fireplaces and hand carved mantels, trim, molding and paneling throughout. While enjoying the Architectural beauty detailed through each room of the home, you’ll also get the benefits of updates done over the years. This includes the multiple mini-split systems (heating and AC), on-demand water heater, 3rd floor wet bar, the inground pool, deck and extensive exterior/interior updates done after the 2011 tornado (including the slate roof). If you love history and craftsmanship, you’ll want to see this home. The basement is partially finished and includes a large game room and pool bathroom.
