Aldus Chapin Higgins House, Tudor Revival residence in Worcester, United States.

The Aldus Chapin Higgins House features two rectangular wings at right angles, connected by an octagonal entry with a crenellated battlement at 1 John Wing Road.

Built in 1921 by architect Grosvenor Atterbury, this house belonged to Aldus Chapin Higgins, son of Milton Prince Higgins who founded the Norton Company.

The Great Hall contains authentic architectural elements from an Italian monastery, while the windows include imported antique leaded casements from European sources.

The house now functions as Worcester Polytechnic Institute's alumni relations office and provides space for special events throughout the academic year.

The exterior combines stucco, brick, and stone with half-timbered upper levels adorned with foliate carvings spanning across 1.25 acres of land.
