The Alpheus Mead House is a historic house located along Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.

Description

The house has 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. Its first documented owner was Alpheus Mead, a butcher.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
