Rufus Lamson House is a historic house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982,[1] a few blocks from the Lamson Place.
The house was apparently built and owned by Rufus Lamson (October 2, 1809 – July 13, 1879) and then inherited by his widow[2] Mary Jane Lamson (Butler) (1812–1885) whom he married[3] at Boston, on Thanksgiving Eve, 1832. Rufus Lamson was a stonemason and a large holder of real estate, known for his liberal treatment of the landlord and tenant relation. He was a member of the Universalist Church in Cambridge and served as an assessor for the city for twenty-two years.[4]
Rufus Lamson and his son, Rufus William Lamson (1833–1912) ran a firm Rufus Lamson & Son[5] that built many of the substantial brick structures now standing in Cambridgeport.
Asa Caleb Lamson (1848–1924), the youngest son of Rufus Lamson, has completed in 1908 a 5-story mansion located at 351 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, MA, called The Lamson,[6] presently[7] occupied by Lambda Phi chapter of Alpha Delta Phi of MIT.
