Hawthorne has also left an inadvertent mark on architectural history, as his Salem Massachusetts birthplace, his childhood home in Raymond Maine, and the Old Manse in Concord (which was also occupied by Ralph Waldo Emerson) have all been preserved in his honor, along with the famous House of the Seven Gables.
