The Harrington House is a historic First Period house at 555 Wellesley Street in Weston, Massachusetts, USA. The oldest portion of the house was built c. 1710 by Benjamin Harrington, Jr., and the property remained in the hands of his descendants until 1906. The house is unusual as a well-preserved example of two houses that were joined together, estimated to have been done c. 1800. The original main block is 2-1/2 stories in height and four bays wide, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. To this, a two-bay section was added to the east. The two sections are clearly different structures, with differing framing details, and floorboards in their garret spaces oriented differently.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] It is one of the town's oldest surviving houses.[2]
