George Sumner House


The George Sumner House is a historic house at 32 Paige Hill Road in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story late Federal wood frame house was built sometime before 1830, probably for Major George Sumner. Sumner was a leader in the early development of the textile industry in Southbridge, being the first in the area to offer as a service the complete cycle of woolen textile processing, although some work was still initially done in homes, not in a factory setting. The house is notable for the fanlight window on the gable end, which is a late 19th-century addition.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
