Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The House of the Seven Gables,' stands for the Pyncheon family home. The house is used as a symbol of the Pyncheon family itself. In its beginnings, the house was solid and stately as the family had been during that time. However, during the time period in which the story is set, the house is a decaying mess, exactly like the family, which is scattered and in malicious competition against each other.
