The Richard Ward House is a historic house in Andover, Massachusetts. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, with asymmetrical massing characteristic of the Queen Anne style. It has a front gable with decorative cut shingles and an oriel window, and a porch with turned posts and balustrade. It is a locally distinctive example of a middle class Queen Anne style Victorian in a rural setting. It was built between 1885 and 1888 for Richard Ward, a milk dealer who had married into the locally prominent Abbot family. ^[2]

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