Historical Houses - Day 011

I woke up early! Kelli belongs to the Preservation of Worcester Society and I had the pleasure of joining her and the group for a day to tour two houses in Waltham, MA. The Lyman Estate and the Gore House are both houses of federal-style architecture.  Their design is very similar to the White House, i.e. the central part with wings on the side, an oval room, etc.  They both had ballrooms with a piano, however, I didn't play either of them.  :(

The Gore house as in Al Gore? Does he live there--did he grow up there?
