The Alpheus Mead House is a historic house located along Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
Description
The house has a {{frac|2|1|2}}-story wood-frame structure with a mansard roof. Dormers piercing the roof are topped either by shallow gables or segmented-arch roofs. Modillions line the main roof eave and windows are topped by over-length projecting lintels. The house has also retained its elaborately decorated porch. Built in the mid-1860s, this Second Empire house is one of just a few such houses to survive along Massachusetts Avenue. Its first documented owner was Alpheus Mead, a butcher.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=cam.247|title=MACRIS inventory record for Alpheus Mead House|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-03-21}}
