Hyde House is a historic house at 144 W. Park Street in Lee, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1792 as the home of Lee's first minister, Alvan Hyde. The three story colonial house features six working original fireplaces and original wide pine flooring. Rev. Hyde served as minister to Lee's First Congregational Church for 41 years; the house eventually passed to his son, Alexander, who opened a school at the residence. The "Hyde House Boarding School for Boys" drew students from as far off as Boston, New York City, and Chicago; among its notable students was James Roosevelt, father of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. At this time an academic wing was added to the back of the house, with a schoolroom on the lower floor and student bedrooms above.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
