Loring Estates are a group of private residential estates in Beverly, Massachusetts. - AsNotedIn

Burnside (Caleb W Loring Estate) is significant as a well-preserved summer estate from the era of intense development of Beverly's coastline as a summer resort for the wealthy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The property has been continuously owned and occupied by members of a single family, headed by Caleb W Loring, that was prominent in local and regional business, industry, and philanthropy. Architecturally, Burnside is significant for the quality and intactness of its main house, constructed in several phases in the Classical Revival, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival styles, and its early barn, which is unusually ornamental. The estate also demonstrates visual significance in the remarkable landscape elements of the approach to the house, with its long winding driveway, fieldstone-edged stream, and circulation pattern, and the dramatic siting of the house above the ocean. Many comparable residences from this period in Beverly are being demolished and replaced, and their large acreages are subdivided for new construction. Retaining integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, Burnside is recommended for National Register listing with significance at the local level.
