A Designer’s Dream House
By Linda Tancs
Overlooking Gloucester Harbor, the Sleeper-McCann House is a National Historic Landmark located in East Gloucester, Massachusetts. Also known as Beauport, it was the summer home of one of America’s first professional interior designers, Henry Davis Sleeper. After Sleeper’s death, Beauport was purchased by the McCann family, who preserved the home much as Sleeper had left it. Thanks to their preservation, you’ll find Sleeper’s lifetime collection of curiosities, colored glass, folk art, china and more among 40 visually evocative rooms entirely distinguishable from each other. House tours take place every half hour between May and October.
