Candle-lit windows are a winter tradition on Beacon Hill going back to the turn of the 20th century. Margaret Nichols remembered that with the candles illuminating 55 Mount Vernon Street “individual charm beamed out of every window.”

Experience the Nichols House by (electric) candlelight on one of our evening tours. Each room is bedecked with trimming inspired by Nichols family traditions and turn of the 20th century styles.

Before or after the tour, enjoy a warm drink and check out our shop for a curated collection of unique gifts.
