Edward Everett Hale House
Edward Everett Hale House, Greek Revival residence in Roxbury, Massachusetts, US.
The Edward Everett Hale House features a 2.5-story wood-frame structure with a side-gable roof and four-column Ionic portico at 12 Morley Street.
Built in 1841 by carpenter Benjamin Kent, the house served as the residence of American author and Unitarian minister Edward Everett Hale from 1869 to 1909.
The residence contains architectural elements of the Greek Revival period, including flushboard facades, eared corner moldings, and detailed window treatments throughout the structure.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority invested $185,000 in exterior restoration works during the early 1990s to preserve the building's structural integrity.
The house was physically relocated from its original location at 39 Highland Street to its current position between 1899 and 1906 by Hale himself.
