Captain Lemuel Clap House, Colonial residence in Dorchester, Boston, US.
The Captain Lemuel Clap House features a two-story wood frame structure with a gambrel roof, twelve-pane windows, and clapboard exterior on specific elevations.
Built in 1767, the house belonged to Captain Lemuel Clap, who served during the Revolutionary War and maintained the property as a center for military activities.
The Dorchester Historical Society maintains collections of period furniture inside the house, including original wedding pieces from Captain Clap and Rebecca Dexter.
Visitors can explore the house during guided tours offered on the second Sunday of each month from 11 AM to 4 PM.
The structure was physically relocated several hundred yards from its original Willow Court location to its current position in 1957 to prevent demolition.
