George Clapp House, historic house in Massachusetts, United States
The George Clapp House is a wood-frame residence in Grafton, Massachusetts, built around 1835 and notable for its Greek Revival architecture. The structure features four tall fluted columns on the front facade and six columns creating a side colonnade, with original interior elements including tall windows, ceramic door hardware, and wide pine flooring.
Built around 1835, the house was one of at least seven similar Greek Revival residences constructed by builder George Clapp in the Grafton area. The property remained with the Clapp family until 1845 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
The house stands at the corner of North Street and Merriam Road near downtown Grafton and is easily visible from the street. You can view the building from outside, as it remains a private residence and access is limited to exterior viewing only.
George Clapp, the builder of this house, was also responsible for constructing at least six other similar Greek Revival homes nearby, making this property a personal statement of his architectural vision. The house stands alone today as the most outstanding example of this refined style in Grafton.
