The Francis J. Child House is an historic house at 67 Kirkland Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a mansard roof, wooden clapboard siding, and a porch extending across the main facade. The house was built in 1861, and is a distinctive Second Empire cottage with jigsaw-cut molding over its gable windows. The lower (steep) portion of the mansard roof has hexagonal tiles, and the building retains its original siding. [2]
