John Goddard House, Colonial house in Brookline, Massachusetts.

The John Goddard House features a two-story wood frame structure with a hip roof, central chimney, and three-bay facade with projecting gabled vestibule.

Built in 1670 by Joseph Goddard and reconstructed in 1767 by John Goddard, the house served as a storage point for colonial munitions during the Siege of Boston.

The First Parish Church in Brookline displays a stained glass window dedicated to John and Hannah Goddard, recognizing their contributions to local society.

Located at 235 Goddard Avenue, the house maintains its original interior elements including period wall paneling, doors, and authentic colonial hardware.

John Goddard, as wagon-master general, coordinated the supply movements to Dorchester Heights, leading to the British forces' departure from Boston in 1776.
