The William Trowbridge Forbes House was a historic house at 23 Trowbridge Road in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1898 to a design by Barker & Nourse, it was one of the city's finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture, with steeply pitched gables, diamond pane windows, and extensive half-timbered stucco exterior. William Forbes, the owner, was a local lawyer and politician who served in the state legislature and as a probate judge. His daughter Harriet is locally notable for her interest in, and photography of, local architectural history.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] The house was demolished in November 2003.[3]
