Cool house out in the country by a famous German architect, Gropius. You get to visit almost every room of this small yet architecturally interesting home. He lead the way to modern ideas mostly in factories and then applied them to his home. Worth your time.

It's always fun to see where and how a famous person lived. People flock to the homes of movie stars, Presidents, sports and music greats. But even more intriguing and revealing is the private home of an architect. We know what he designed for others, but what does an architect design and build for himself? The architect in question is... More

When one of the pioneers of modern architecture builds a house for himself, you know it will be worth visiting. Walter Gropius built this house in 1938 but it is just as modern and contemporary today. The Gropius family were the only occupants and the house is still as it was when they lived in it, with many of their... More

Exit 14 off of the Massachusetts Turnpike, West of 128 (I95) and East of 495, the Gropius House is well worth the detour for those heading North or South through Massachusetts. What a treat! Blissfully, we were shown around by a wonderful art history professor. He shared a variety of information that allowed all to connect with and enjoy the... More

The house, the... More

If you are staying in this area, visiting the Gropius House is a must, it is a masterpiece and still amazing and modern, even almost after a century.

Nice little tour for architecture buffs. Right in the middle of scenic Lincoln, MA, Gropius house has been well maintained and kept up. Staff is on-site to answer questions, and give a quick tour. Fun!

Went on Sunday with a good friend. It was just the 2 of us and the guide Kathy. We felt we were private guests of the place. Yes it does smell a bit musty, but hey, this is a monument. Kathy was awesome, giving us so many anecdotes about Gropius and his family. Amazing that this house today stills feels... More

In an area best known for colonial and Revolutionary War sites, the Gropius House stands apart. Built by the great architect for himself and his family, containing his furniture, art, and clothes, the house gives a perfect snapshop of his work. Best visited in warmer months, this is not probably a place for young children. Be sure not to miss... More
