The D. Wheeler Swift House is a historic house at 22 Oak Avenue in Worcester, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was designed by architect Stephen C. Earle and built in 1879-80. It is a well-preserved example of Gothic Revival and Stick style design, with bargeboard and decorative apron in the main gable. The porch, which wraps around two sides of the house, has a low geometric railing, and bracketing that echoes the woodwork in the gables. D. Wheeler Swift was an inventor of envelope-making machines, and owned companies that used such machines.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
