The Susan Russell House is a historic house at 58 Sycamore Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. The 1.5 story Greek Revival cottage is estimated to have been built in the 1830s, based a stylistic analysis. It is a rare survivor of a style that was once common in Somerville. Its principal surviving Greek Revival element is its door surround.[2] It was a scene of 3 brutal murders in its first 70 years and has since been regarded as one of Massachusetts' most haunted houses.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
