The Houses at 28–36 Beacon Street in Somerville, Massachusetts are a series of Queen Anne style brick rowhouses. The five identical houses were built c. 1880 on land formerly part of a brickyard owned by George Wyatt, whose own house stands across the street. The facade of each house is divide vertically into two sections: the left one is flat, and is topped by a square turret roof, with a single story portico sheltering double entrance doors, and the right sight is a polygonal project bay rising the full three stories. The shallow roof cornices are studded with brackets.

The rowhouses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
