H. G. Vaughn House

Location
  
Sherborn, Massachusetts

The H. G. Vaughn House is a historic summer estate house at 5 Sparhawk Road in Sherborn, Massachusetts. The stucco-clad Dutch Colonial Revival house was designed by the Boston firm of Little & Browne and built in 1915. The L-shaped building has a marble courtyard in the crook of the L. It has four Dutch-inspired gables rising on the red tile roof, with sweeping curves and angular edges. The interior is decorated with 18th- and 19th-century New England architectural elements salvaged from other buildings, and some of its walls are decorated with murals showing Roman ruins and Dutch street scenes. Henry G. Vaughn, the owner, was a prominent Boston lawyer.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
