The John Wescott Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house at 454 Pleasant Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is a well preserved example of a Queen Anne triple decker (built c. 1892), which is unusual in part for its orientation with the long axis parallel to the street. This adaptation was done to fit the building onto a long, narrow lot. The entry is slightly off-center in a section with porches on all three floors. The porches have turned balusters and posts. The walls are clad in alternating sections of clapboards and shingles, and the roof has a cornice studded with pairs of brackets.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
