The Phineas Lawrence House is a historic house at 257 Trapelo Road in Waltham, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built c. 1807-08 by Phineas Lawrence, member of the locally prominent Lawrence family, who had owned land in the northeastern part of Waltham since the 17th century. The house is a well-preserved example of Federal styling. The Lawrence properties were extensive, and included land that was used for the nearby Metropolitan State Hospital. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. [1]
