Seth Davis House

The Seth Davis House, located at 32 Eden Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts, is a historic brick structure built in the 1820s, showcasing one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the area. Uniquely featuring brick detailing instead of the more common wood cornices, the house was constructed by Seth Davis, a notable teacher and real estate investor. Davis played a significant role in the local community, contributing to developments such as the West Newton's Railroad Hotel, and his legacy is reflected in the naming of nearby streets and the Davis School. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the region's architectural and historical heritage.
