I actually visited the house in October. I haven't read the book yet, but I'm about to start it.

still standing
If you have never read Hawthorne, I recommend this one. It's a literary masterpiece with so many multidimensional characters, and so vividly described by the author. The characterizations alone make this book worth reading. It is a unique story. I would love to visit the actual house. A friend of mine has been there. It was years ago, but it is still open for tourism. See www.7gables.org

actual house
Despite claims by any party, no one actually knows what house Hawthorne used as a model for the House of the Seven Gables. It is actually pretty commonly believed that Hawthorne combined a number of houses in his description of the house since several houses in Salem match his discription to some degree.
