The William Curtis House is a historic house in Newton, Massachusetts. This 2.5 story wood frame house was built in 1839 for William Curtis, owner of a local paper mill, and is an important local example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival styling. It has Federal massing, with a five bay front facade and four side chimneys, but it has Greek Revival corner pilasters, and a front entry sheltered by a Doric porch.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
