The George Sumner House is a historic house at 32 Paige Hill Road in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story late Federal wood-frame house was built sometime before 1830, probably for Major George Sumner (who is recorded as its owner in 1855). Sumner was a leader in the early development of the textile industry in Southbridge, being the first in the area to offer as a service the complete cycle of woolen textile processing, although some work was still initially done in homes, not in a factory setting. The house is notable for the fanlight window on the gable end, which is a late 19th-century addition. ^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. ^[1]
