The House at 13 Annis Street was built in 1880 and is a historic house in Methuen, Massachusetts.

Annis was one of the first streets to experience residential development due to the expansion of the Arlington textile Mills. It lies in what is now the Arlington Mills Historic District, the area immediately to the west along Stevens Pond of the Spicket River. The mills employed thousands of Lawrence and Methuen workers and owned little operative housing.

This building is representative of the inexpensive dwellings built by speculators for sale to woolen mill workers, a 1½-story gable-roofed worker's cottage which became common throughout the area.[2]

It is a well preserved example, in an area where there has been considerable demolition and alteration. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
