If you've ever taken a guided tour of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion, you've probably noticed that the building's trademark cupola is off-limits to visitors.

As part of our new A View from the Top column, we're offering up this virtual look around the Lee mansion's cupola - and can vouch that the view toward Marblehead's historic district is truly breathtaking.

A big thank you to Marblehead Museum and Historical Society Executive Director Pam Peterson for opening up the mansion for us on Friday afternoon.

Is there a vantage point in town that you'd like us to feature next week? Let us know in the comments section below.
