There are a good many styles of houses, but the gambrel roof or Cape Anne seems to be very popular. The Hooper House, only a few doors down from Lizzie Borden’s Maplecroft begins Underwood in the shadows of the looming Charlton Hospital- and has always been a landmark structure. Today it is a multi-family home which some have compared to the popular Addams Family home from the old television program. Underwood is tucked away neatly, but for avid admirers of Painted Ladies, it is well worth the effort. Underwood also offers some fine views of the Simeon Borden/ Sarah Brayton House.
