The Josiah B. Whitman House is a historic house at 210 Maple Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame house was built c. 1860 by Josiah Whitman. It is a well-preserved local example of vernacular Second Empire styling. It has the characteristic mansard roof, with eaves decorated by heavy brackets. The entry is offset to the left side, with a portico that is also heavily bracketed. A wing, also mansard-roofed, extends to the southwest at the rear of the main block. Bay windows project from the front and side, topped with roofs whose cornices are also bracketed.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
