The Andrew McCarron Three-Decker is a historic triple-decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built c. 1918, it is a well-preserved example of a Colonial Revival triple-decker, and rare for its relatively large size and proportioning.

It has a three-story porch structure that projects significantly from the front facade. It is supported by fluted square columns and is topped by a pedimented gable. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. [1]
