Grey Gables

Grey Gables was an estate in Bourne, Massachusetts owned by Grover Cleveland that served as his Summer White House from 1888-1896.

Cleveland purchased Grey Gables after unsuccessfully trying to purchase Harbor Lane, a home in Marion, Massachusetts where he had spent his previous four summers. [1]

The property was later converted to an inn known as the Grey Gables Ocean House. The inn was destroyed by fire on the morning of December 11, 1973, [2] a few years before the train station which bears the estate's name was moved to the Aptuxcet Trading Post Museum (1976).
