George D. Birkhoff House
George D. Birkhoff House, Historic residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
Located at 22 Craigie Street, this three-story Second Empire wood-frame house features a mansard roof and retains its original exterior appearance from 1912.
Mathematician George David Birkhoff resided in this house from 1920 to 1928, during which time he developed fundamental theories in statistical physics and dynamical systems.
The residence represents the academic environment of Cambridge in the early 20th century, when Harvard University attracted leading mathematicians and scientists from across America.
The interior modifications include modern plumbing installations and a cathedral ceiling in the front parlor while maintaining the center-hall floor plan.
This National Historic Landmark designation in 1975 recognizes the connection between the house and Birkhoff's mathematical achievements, including solving Poincaré's last geometric theorem.
