Robert Frost House
Robert Frost House, Historic residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Description
The Robert Frost House is a row of four wood-frame townhouses from the 1880s on Brewster Street in Cambridge. Each unit stands two and a half stories tall with symmetrical arrangements and ornate porches combining Queen Anne and Shingle architectural styles.
History
The property was built in 1884 as a four-unit residential complex representing a popular housing format of the late 1800s. Its significance grew when poet Robert Frost made it his home during the final decades of his life.
Culture
The four townhouses display different porch details and woodwork that visitors can notice from the street. Each unit has its own character despite being designed as a unified group.
Practical
The building sits on Brewster Street in Cambridge and remains a private residence closed to public entry. You can appreciate the architecture from the street and observe the exterior details and decorative elements.
