The Thaddeus Jackson House is a historic house at 15 Alberta Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1820, and is one of Brookline's older surviving homes.

On 27 Nov 1782, Abraham Jackson, Thaddeus's ageing father took as his third wife, Hannah Cheever Woodward, the widowed mother of Thaddeus's wife. Thaddeus Jackson lost his first wife Lydia Woodward Jackson on 07 May 1801. On 21 April 1805, he married Abigail Wiswall (b. 1762, d. 1854) in Brookline, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
