Maria Bassett House

The Maria Bassett House, located in Arlington, Massachusetts, is a historic Italianate-style home built between 1850 and 1870. As one of the oldest houses in northwestern Arlington, it showcases distinctive architectural features such as a hip roof with extended eaves, decorative brackets, and a wraparound porch. Overlooking the scenic Lower Mystic Lake, this grand structure was one of the first residential buildings in the area, which was primarily used for dairy farming during its early years. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, making it a notable site for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
