Harry Albert of the Salisbury Mansion
visited WCCA TV's studio to promote the Mansion: tours, lectures,
concerts, performances, family days, parties and other event
offered throughout the year.
Located at 40 Highland Street, Salisbury Mansion is Worcester’s only
historic house museum. Built in 1772 as a combination house and
store, it served as the home of “gentleman-merchant” Stephen
Salisbury. The store closed after the Embargo of 1812, and by 1820
all of the space once used for the store had become living quarters.
Salisbury Mansion has gone through many changes over the years,
from a rooming-house to a gentleman’s club. Salisbury Mansion
was originally located at Lincoln Square. Through tireless research
and documentation, Salisbury Mansion has been restored to the 1830s
to reflect the time when it was home to the widow Elizabeth
Tuckerman Salisbury. It is considered one of the best documented
historic house museums in New England.
