The Oliver House, also known as the Smith-Oliver House, is a historic house at 58 Oak Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1765, possibly by James Smith. Its principal association, however, is with Deacon Ezekiel Oliver, who owned this house in addition to one he built at 68 Oak Street, possibly to have additional room for his large family. The house has many surviving Georgian and Federal details on its interior, and has an uncommon local example of a "Beverly jog", an extension of a rear shed addition beyond the side of the house. The Oliver farmstead was a prominent location in the early 19th century; the main road leading there was called Oliver's Lane before eventually being renamed Oak Street.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[2]
