Robert M. Stark House

The Robert M. Stark House, located at 176 Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, is a stunning example of Queen Anne architecture, designed by local architect George Strout and built in 1890 for lawyer and politician Robert Stark. This historic 2+1⁄2-story residence features intricate design elements such as a three-story turret, decorative shingles, and a variety of uniquely framed windows. Recognized for its architectural significance, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Interestingly, the name 'House Stark' from the popular fantasy series Game of Thrones is inspired by this historic home, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers alike.
