The Brigham House is a historic house at 235 Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built about 1893, it is an architecturally distinctive hybrid of Queen Anne, Shingle, and Colonial Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
Description and history
The Brigham House stands in eastern Waltham, on the north side of busy Main Street (
The land on which the house stands was in the early 19th century part of the Bright family estate. The family began seriously subdividing the estate for residential development in the early 1890s, and the lot for this house was sold in 1892. Ella and Elijah Brigham were the buyers; he was an insurance agent working in Boston. This was one of the last houses to be built on this stretch of Main Street before a post-World War I building boom.[2]
