The Cliff Cottage is a historic cottage at 787 Mill Street (at its corner with Cliff Street) in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The 1.5 story cottage was built sometime before 1855, when it first appears on local maps. The combination of Greek Revival and Gothic Revival features suggests that it was built after 1830. It is not known for whom it was built; its owner in 1855 was listed as F. McKinstry, from a family that owned other properties in the area.[2]

The main level of the house is built of paneled stone, and has an asymmetrical T-shaped layout. It has original casement windows, and its roof is punctured by a series of gable end dormers decorated with scallop trim. The porch is in a Greek Revival style. The house is a rare example of Gothic styling in Southbridge.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
