The Stanstead is a historic apartment building located at 19 Ware Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The three-story Richardsonian Romanesque building was built in 1887, and is an uncommon brick rendition of a triple-decker, more typically a wood-frame construction, that was just becoming popular in Cambridge. The architects, J. R. & W. P. Richards, also designed The Jarvis, another early brick apartment house in the city. [2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1]
