Charles Buck House
Charles Buck House, Renaissance Revival residence in Stoneham, Massachusetts, United States.
The Charles Buck House is a Renaissance Revival residence in Stoneham, Massachusetts, featuring three bays, a gabled roof, and clapboard siding. Upper-story windows with projecting lintels provide decorative detail and emphasize the home's formal design.
Built around 1880, the house occupies land that previously held the town's first meetinghouse and school from the early 1700s. This shift reflects how Stoneham developed from a small colonial settlement into a place where merchants built substantial homes.
The house reflects how successful merchants in the 1880s wanted to display their wealth through architecture. Its position and design show the importance such families held in their community.
The property sits on a rise above the intersection of Summer and Pleasant Streets, a short walk east from Stoneham's downtown area. Its elevated position makes it easy to spot and approach from nearby residential neighborhoods.
Remnants of Charles Buck's original carriage house still exist on an adjacent lot from the 1880s period. These structures reveal details about how wealthy families of that era managed their property and transportation needs.
