The Draper Ruggles House is a historic Greek Revival house at 21 Catherine Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame house was built c. 1848, and was possibly designed by Elias Carter, because it has stylistic touches associated with his work. It is a rare local example of hip-roofed Greek Revival house with a temple front; the Dowley-Taylor House is the only other city property that also has these characteristics. The owner, Draper Ruggles, was a principal partner in a plow manufacturer.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
