Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Beauport, also known as Sleeper–McCann House, Little Beauport, or Henry Davis Sleeper House, is a historic house in Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA.

Background

Beauport was built starting in 1908 as the summer home of interior decorator and antique collector Henry Davis Sleeper. Situated on the rocks overlooking Gloucester Harbor, Sleeper repeatedly enlarged and modified the structure, and filled it with a large collection of fine art, folk art, architectural artifacts, and other collectible materials. He decorated its rooms, which came to number 56, to evoke different historical and literary themes. Beauport served as his escape, a backdrop for summer parties, and as a showcase for his professional skills.

After Sleeper's death, Charles and Helena Woolworth McCann acquired the house and its contents. They preserved much of Sleeper's designs and decorations, but made some modifications, including adding their porcelain collection to the house. In 1947, their heirs donated the property to the Society for the Protection of New England Antiquities (now Historic New England), which operates the property as a house museum.[1]

The house has frequently been written about in books and magazines, with the first major article appearing in House Beautiful in 1916. It has been featured in publications including Architectural Digest, Country Living, and The Boston Globe, and has been showcased on television programs such as America's Castles.[1]

Preservation

Beauport was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2003, in recognition of its distinctive architecture, its unique collection of artifacts, and for its association for Sleeper, whose design influence extended across the wealthy elite of the eastern United States.[1][2]

In addition to the main house, the property also has a gate house, garage, and toolshed that were built by Sleeper. The gate house has been adapted by Historic New England as a visitor reception area, and the toolshed now houses restrooms.1 The garage is used for storage and as office space. There is a single non-contributing building on the property, a caretaker's house, which is potentially of local historic interest as an example of a prefabricated post-World War II residential structure.[1]
