The Eliphalet Spurr House is a historic house located at 103 Walnut Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, United States.

Description and history

[edit]

The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built in 1798 by Eliphalet Spurr, who was locally prominent as one of the first operators of a local coach service, providing transport to Boston (which then required a roundabout trip via Roxbury and the Boston Neck). It is the oldest building in the Pill Hill, and one of the town's few 18th century Georgian houses.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.[1]
