Tupper Manor is at 295 Hale Street in Beverly, Massachusetts, on the Endicott College campus on Boston’s North Shore. It is 20 miles from Boston and from Logan Airport, and 2 miles from an MBTA commuter rail station.
Tupper Manor is a Georgian mansion built in 1901 as the summer home of Bryce James Allan and Anna Palfrey Allan, of the Allan shipping family. Boston architect Guy Lowell, who also designed the Museum of Fine Arts, designed it.
Endicott College acquired the estate in 1943 and renamed it Tupper Hall, in honor of Dr. Eleanor Tupper, a co-founder and the college’s second president. It later served as a residence hall and the home of the School of Hospitality Management, and today it hosts weddings and celebrations.
