The Ginery Twichell House is a historic house at 17 Kent Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The 2 1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1844–55 by Ginery Twichell, a leading Massachusetts politician, as well as a nationally prominent stagecoach and railroad owner. Twichell lived at 40 Kent Street. The house is a well-preserved example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling. Its massing and roofline are typically Greek Revival, but its gable ends and eaves have doubled brackets, and its windows are capped by scrollwork decoration.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
