The House at 38–40 Webster Place in Brookline, Massachusetts, is a rare local example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling. The 2-1/2 story two-family house was built c. 1855-56 as a rental property by either Bela Stoddard or his son George. It has a side-gable roof, with a single-story porch extending across the five-bay front facade. The walls under the porch are finished in flushboard, a Greek Revival feature, while the porch supports are Italianate in style.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
