The House at 511 Watertown Street in Newton, Massachusetts is one of the city's finer Colonial Revival houses. Built in 1897, the 2 1/2 story wood frame house features symmetrical two story bow windows, modillioned cornices, and large dormers in its truncated hip roof with fully pedimented gables. The first owner was a Nonantum grocer. The buildings corners are pilastered, and front entrance is sheltered by a flat-roof porch supported by grouped columns.

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