The Peter Tufts House is a Colonial American house located in Medford, Massachusetts. It is thought to have been built between 1677 and 1678. Past historians considered it to be the oldest brick house in the United States, although that distinction belongs to Bacon's Castle, the 1665 plantation home of Virginian Arthur Allen. It is also believed to be, possibly, the oldest surviving house in the U.S. with a gambrel roof.
The John and Maria Adams House is a historic structure near the city of Olmsted Falls, Ohio, United States. Built in the early nineteenth century, the house was expanded throughout the following several decades, and it has been named a historic site.
Mount Pleasant Historic District is a historic district encompassing a cluster of well-preserved 19th-century residential buildings on Forest Street and Mount Pleasant Avenue in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

The district features Greek Revival, Italianate, and Romanesque architecture, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
The Alexander Standish House is a historic house at 341 Standish Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts. It has been claimed that this house was built in 1666 by Alexander Standish (1626–1702), son of Mayflower Pilgrim, Capt. Myles Standish, but architectural analysis of the building suggests a mid-18th century construction date. Documentary evidence is also weak, suggesting that when the property passed to Alexander Standish's grandson in 1739, the house standing on it did not resemble this one. The house is a 1+1⁄2-story gambrel-roofed wood-frame structure, with five bays on the front facade and a central chimney, on which the date "1666" has been painted. It has been relatively little-altered since c. 1879, when a lithograph was made.
The Kingsbury-Whitaker House is a historic house in Needham, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house has at its core elements of a house that was built on the site in about 1720. The old house, built by Deacon Timothy Kingsbury, became the significantly-altered nucleus of a larger house built in 1840 by Edward Whitaker, a prominent local businessman. With further additions, the building encapsulates more than 200 years of construction methods. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The Lincoln–Sunset Historic District is a residential historic district located west of the downtown area of Amherst, Massachusetts. Colloquially known as Millionaire's Row, the district extends along Lincoln and Sunset Avenues between Northampton Street and the campus of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. This area was one of Amherst's first planned residential subdivisions, and features a large number of high-quality houses, built by merchants, businessmen, and academics. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
The John Boardman House is a historic First Period house in Boxford, Massachusetts. Its oldest portion dates to about 1740, but has stylistically older elements. It was moved to its current location from Saugus in 1956, before which it had undergone restoration. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The French–Andrews House is a historic First Period house in Topsfield, Massachusetts. The oldest elements of the house date to c. 1718, and exhibit construction techniques that are clearly derived from 17th century English methods found in other, older, First Period homes in Massachusetts. It is also notable for some surviving original decorative styling in its downstairs front rooms, and as the subject of early preservation work.
The Isaac Goodale House is a historic house in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Built about 1700, the house has many original First Period elements, despite its relocation to its present location in 1928. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, and is the subject of a preservation easement held by the Ipswich Historic Commission.
The Prince Osborne House is a historic First Period house in Danvers, Massachusetts. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and clapboard siding. Door and window trim is very simple, and there is a slight overhang of the second floor over the first. The house appears to have been formed out of two separate structures, that were, based on stylistic analysis, joined in about 1720. The left side of the house was probably built sometime between 1690 and 1700, but may be even older. In an unusual twist to this type of joinery, the older portion's chimney was taken down and a new one was apparently built in the framing of the newer section. The interior exhibits primarily later Federal period woodwork, but there are some examples of c. 1720 paneling.
The Flint House is a historic First Period house at 28 Lexington Road in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The oldest portions of this house have very early colonial construction, and its main block either is, or contains portions of, a "mansion" built by Ephraim Flint and mentioned in a 1709 deed. This main block appears to have portions of two older structures that were joined; the exact sequence of construction is difficult due to extensive alterations of the building over the 18th and 19th centuries. The property includes a barn which is thought to have been built before 1750, and is unaltered despite having been moved a relatively short distance on the grounds. The house has been occupied by nine generations of Flints, who have been a major force in the civic life of Lincoln.
The George Robbins House is a historic First Period house in Carlisle, Massachusetts. Although construction of the oldest portions of this house generally ascribed to George Robbins in c. 1660–70, stylistic analysis of its construction methods places its date of construction to c. 1700. It is a timber-frame house, five bays wide; its leanto is a late 18th-century addition, and the ell on the house's left dates to the 19th century, when some Greek Revival styling was added.
The Abraham Jaquith House, also known as Farley Garrison house, is a house at 1246 Province Road in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. Built about 1725 in Billerica, Massachusetts, it was dismantled and moved to its present location in the early 2000s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and was delisted in 2024.

Beebe Homestead, also known as the Lucius Beebe House and Beebe Farm, is a historic Federal period home at 142 Main Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts, which was built during the federal era that extended from the late 18th-century into the 1820s. It is suspected to have been remodeled into the federal style from an earlier home built in circa 1727. It overlooks Lake Quannapowitt, and according to a 1989 study of historic sites in Wakefield, the house is "one of Wakefield's most imposing landmarks." The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
