Built in 1650 and modified in 1720, the John Adams birthplace was renovated over a six year period in the 1980s.The most interesting room in the house is Adams' old law office, in which he, John Bowdoin, and Samuel Adams drafted the Massachusetts State Constitution which is still in use today and greatly influenced the development of the United States Constitution.
Its clapboards remain unpainted as research by the National Park Service indicates that the house was unpainted when John and Abigail last lived in it.
