George P. Fernald House

The George P. Fernald House, located at 12 Rock Hill Street in Medford, Massachusetts, is a stunning example of Colonial Revival architecture built around 1895. Designed by architect George P. Fernald, who was a prominent figure in this architectural style, the house features a striking two-story Ionic pedimented portico and an intricate Federal-style entryway. The design may have been influenced by Fernald's earlier work on the Count Rumford Birthplace. This historic mansion was recognized for its significance and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, making it a noteworthy site for tourists and researchers interested in architectural history.
