The House at 95 Chestnut Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts is a well-preserved vernacular Greek Revival house. The 1 12-story wood-frame house was built in 1849 for Joshua Whittemore, who in 1862 invented a crutch (having lost a leg in an accident in 1850) that was sold worldwide. The house's gable end faces the street, with return eaves and wide corner boards. The front porch is a later Stick Style addition, with pediments and sawtooth ornamentation.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
