Beechwood is a historic house at 495 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The two story Stick style house was built in 1868 as a wedding gift from Jedidah Marcy to his granddaughter, and was one of the first houses of the early Victorian style to be built in Southbridge. It was also one of the first built in that section of Southbridge, an area that would not be fully developed until the 1890s. Its porch, while typical of later buildings, shows details that are indicative of the earlier Italianate styling.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
