Phineas Lawrence House

The Phineas Lawrence House, located at 257 Trapelo Road in Waltham, Massachusetts, is a historic 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure built around 1807-08 by Phineas Lawrence, a member of the prominent Lawrence family. This well-preserved example of Federal architecture reflects the rich history of the area, where the Lawrence family has owned land since the 17th century. The house was recognized for its historical significance and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers interested in early American architecture and local history.
