The Butterfield-Whittemore House, built in 1695, is a historic colonial house at 54 Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington, Massachusetts.
The earliest part of the house was built about 1695 by Johnathan Butterfield, a field driver in Menotomy. It was sold in 1749 to Samuel Whittemore III, son of the local Revolutionary War hero. Greek Revival modifications were made about 1845, and a new porch added circa 1920. Restorations began in 2006 and have since completed.[2]
The house's position is distinctive in that it faces Massachusetts Avenue at an angle, reflecting the path of the road as it was in the late seventeenth century.
