The Hartwell House is a historic house in Reading, Massachusetts. The 1+12-story wood-frame house was built in 1918 for George Hartwell, an engineer. The most prominent feature of this Craftsman/Bungalow style house is its stonework: the front porch is supported by tapering piers of fieldstone, and the full length of its chimney is similarly composed. There is a decorative woodwork trellis at the peak of the front gable.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
