The John Mason House is an historic First Period house on 1303 Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, its main block three bays wide, with a side gable roof, clapboard siding, and two chimneys set behind the roof ridge. A leanto section to the rear gives it a saltbox profile, and an ell extends to the right. The oldest portion of the house, a three-bay portion of its main block, was built c. 1715. The building has been repeatedly extended and altered over the years. John Mason, its builder, was a prominent local citizen.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
