Philip Eames House is a historic house at 88 Stone House Road in Washington, Massachusetts, near the junction with Summit Hill Road. Described as Washington's "most imposing 19th century residence", it is located in a rural area. It was built in 1843 in a style featuring both Federalist and Greek Revival details. The house is 2.5 stories and five bays wide, with brick chimneys at each of the gable ends. Local lore says that some of the building materials came from the construction of the railroad, which was built through the area in 1838. Philip Eames, for whom the house was built, was the local operator of a number of saw mills.[2]
The house was listed on the National Historic Register in 1986.[1]
