Rev. Edmund Dowse House

The Rev. Edmund Dowse House, located in Sherborn, Massachusetts, is a historic Greek Revival structure built in 1838 as a parsonage for Rev. Edmund Dowse, the first pastor of the Evangelical Society. This 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house features distinctive architectural elements such as a flat-roof portico with Doric columns and a polygonal bay window. The Dowse family played a significant role in the community, with Rev. Dowse serving for 67 years and his son, William Bradford Homer Dowse, contributing to local development, including funding the Dowse Memorial Library. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the house is currently undergoing restoration, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
