Clapp Houses, Historical architectural ensemble in Dorchester, Boston, US.
The Clapp Houses consist of two Federal-style buildings located at 195 and 199 Boston Street, featuring detailed colonial era moldings and craftsmanship.
The Captain Lemuel Clap House originated in the early 1700s, while William Clapp constructed the second house in 1806 near their family tannery business.
The Dorchester Historical Society maintains both structures as house museums, preserving architectural elements from Boston's colonial and Federal periods.
Visitors can find the Clapp Houses at the intersection of Boston Street and Willow Court, following their 1957 relocation from their original positions.
The National Register of Historic Places listed both houses on May 2, 1974, recognizing their role in preserving Massachusetts colonial architecture.
