Miles Pratt House

The Miles Pratt House, located in Watertown, Massachusetts, is a remarkable example of Italianate architecture, built between 1860 and 1874. This historic 2+1⁄2 story wood-frame residence features distinctive wide eaves with paired brackets and an elegant front entry hood with arched pendants, evoking the style of an Italian palazzo.
