The Samuel Jackson Jr. House is a historic house located at 137 Washington Street in Newton, Massachusetts.

Description and history

[edit]

The two-story wood-frame house was built c. 1768 by Samuel Jackson, the great-grandson of Edward Jackson, one of Newton's early settlers. The five-bay facade is typical of Federal style houses, as are the rear twin chimneys. The front porch, with its fluted columns, is a 19th-century addition, as are the sidelight windows flanking the front door.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1986.[1]
