Peter Tufts House, Colonial house in Medford, United States.
The Peter Tufts House features 18-inch thick brick walls, two large chimneys, and multiple architectural elements characteristic of early American construction methods.
Built between 1677 and 1678, the structure served as a garrison house during colonial times, with strategic portholes integrated into its brick construction.
The building appears on the Medford city seal since 1892, representing the architectural heritage of Massachusetts and early American settlement patterns.
Located at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Rockwell Avenue, the National Historic Landmark remains accessible for architectural research and documentation.
The house contains separate chimney flues that merge in the gables, demonstrating an advanced construction technique uncommon in 17th-century American architecture.
