The John Buckingham House is a historic house at 33-35 Waban Street in Newton, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a bell-cast mansard roof with fish-scale slate shingles and segmented-arch dormers. The cornice is denticulated, and it has elaborately-decorated porches and projecting bays. The house is estimated to have been built c. 1864, and was bought in 1866 by John Buckingham, pastor of the Chestnut Hill Unitarian Church, remaining in his family until the 1970s. The Second Empire style house is typical of commuter-oriented housing built in Newton Corner after the American Civil War.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
