Rufus Lamson House

The Rufus Lamson House, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982. Built by stonemason Rufus Lamson in the early 19th century, the house reflects his contributions to the local real estate landscape and his progressive views on landlord-tenant relations.

His legacy continued through his family, particularly with his son Rufus William Lamson, who was instrumental in constructing many notable brick buildings in Cambridgeport. Visitors to the area can appreciate the architectural significance and historical context of this charming residence.
