Beebe Homestead, also known as the Lucius Beebe House, is a historic Federal style house at 142 Main Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts, built during the Federal era which extended from the late 1700s into the 1820s in this area. It is suspected to have been remodelled into Federal style from an earlier house. The house is a large, two story house with two chimneys, a hip roof, and elaborate details, including an octagonal cupola.[2]
It overlooks Lake Quannapowitt. According to a 1989 study of historic sites in Wakefield, the house is "one of Wakefield's most imposing landmarks."[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
