James Gleason Cottage

The James Gleason Cottage, located at 31 Sayles Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts, is a historic house built around 1830, showcasing a unique blend of Greek Revival and Gothic Revival architectural styles. This modest 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure features a steeply pitched gabled roof, a three-bay facade with corner pilasters, and a charming porch with Gothic arches. Originally constructed for a local businessman, James Gleason, the cottage was relocated to its current site around 1900 and is now surrounded by parking lots of a nearby medical center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, making it a noteworthy stop for tourists and researchers interested in regional architectural history.
