The Cheney Read House is an historic house at 135 Western Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1846 by William Hyde, and is the only house in Cambridge's Cambridgeport neighborhood with a two-story Greek portico. It has four full-height Doric columns, with a gable end that is steeper than the usual Greek Revival style. It has a side-entry plan, with the entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a pedimented lintel. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]
