The Clifton Bacon House is a historic house at 27 Chester Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. It is one of the most high-style Queen Anne Victorians in the Davis Square area of the city. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1885, and occupied in 1990 by Clifton Bacon, a Boston coal dealer. The house has complex massing, with a large projecting gable section on the right side of the front facade, and a corner polygonal bay on the left that is capped by a steep conical turret. Beneath the right-side gable is a rounded bay on the second floor, below which is an elaborately decorated front porch. The first floor of the house is clad in clapboards, while the upper floors are clad in shingles, including many bands of fish-scale shingles and otherwise decoratively cut shingles.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
