Mark Temple House

The Mark Temple House, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is a historic timber-frame structure built around 1753 by Jonathan Temple. This 2+1⁄2-story house showcases a transformation from its original Georgian style to a Greek Revival style in the 1850s, thanks to 'Uncle Mark' Temple's renovations. Notable changes included a 90-degree rotation of the building and raising its foundation. The house, which reflects the architectural evolution of the area, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American history and architecture.
