The John Bottume House is a historic house at 4 Woodland Road in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1859, it is a T-shaped Italianate house fashioned out of uncoursed granite rising 2.5 stories. Its roof line is fully bracketed, as is the gable end of the roof, and it has round-arched windows. It was built for John Bottume, a merchant, and was one of several houses built during that period along the shores of Spot Pond. The property was acquired in 1895 by the Metropolitan District Commission, predecessor to today's Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, which continues to own it.[2]
The MDC was using the house as a supervisor's residence at the time the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1][2] It has since been converted for use as a visitor's center for the Middlesex Fells Reservation.
