The E. B. Cummings House is a historic house at 52 Marcy Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. It is the smallest but best preserved house of those at the corner of Marcy and Edward Streets, a fashionable suburban district of Southbridge in the mid to late 19th century. It was built in the 1870s for Edwin B. Cummings, co-owner of a hardware store on Main Street. Despite a construction date well past the typical period for Greek Revival styling, the house has paneled corner pilasters, and sidelight and transom windows around the door, elements characteristic of that style. It also has Italianate details such as double brackets in the eaves, roof pitch, and front porch. A number of other elements, such as the second floor bay window, are later additions.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
