Alpheus Mead House
The Alpheus Mead House is an historic house located at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.Description
It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof. Dormers piercing the roof are topped either by shallow gables or segmented-arch roofs. Modillions line the main roof eave, and windows are topped by over-length projecting lintels. The house has also retained its elaborately decorated porch. Built in the mid-1860s, this Second Empire house is one of just a few such houses to survive along Massachusetts Avenue, which was once lined with handsome and well-spaced houses. Its first documented owner was Alpheus Mead, a butcher.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
