Oliver Wight House, Federal period house in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
The Oliver Wight House features a symmetrical five-bay Georgian design with a hipped-gable roof, clapboard siding, and two internal chimneys on Main Street.
Built in the 1780s, the property belonged to cabinet maker Oliver Wight until 1802, when financial difficulties forced him into bankruptcy and the sale of his estate.
The first floor hall contains a mural by American folk artist Rufus Porter, depicting landscapes with rolling hills, houses, windmills, and steamboats.
The structure served multiple purposes through centuries, from a cabinet making workshop to a tavern, motor lodge, and temporary municipal offices in 2009.
Located at coordinates 42°6'40"N and 72°5'20"W, this National Register of Historic Places site maintains original architectural elements from the Federal period.
