Christopher Gore<\/a>, born in Boston, was a lawyer and Federalist politician<\/a>, who served as Governor of Massachusetts (1808-1810)<\/a> and a United States Senator (1813-1816)<\/a>. Earlier, Gore<\/a> had spent eight years in Britain, initially as a commissioner to the Jay Treaty<\/a> in 1796. It was during this time, in 1799, that his country mansion in Waltham, built in 1793, burned down. Gore and his wife, Rebecca Amory Payne<\/a>, influenced by the estates they had seen in Europe, planed the construction of a new mansion<\/a> after their return home in 1804. Called Gore Place<\/a>, it was completed in 1805. Christopher Gore<\/a> retired to his estate in 1816, but declining health led him to return to Boston<\/a> in 1822, where he lived until his death in 1827<\/a>. After Mrs. Gore’s death, the house<\/a> was sold at auction. Other families lived there in the following years and in 1921 the house and grounds became home to a country club. The house was saved from demolition in 1935 by Gore Place Society and the restored mansion has since been open to the public<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
