The James H. Standish House is a historic house at 54 Francis Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built c. 1874-75, the 2-1/2 story house and carriage barn are a rare surviving example in Brookline of elaborate Stick style. It has Italianate massing and facade organization, as well as other typically Italianate elements such as a cupola and a bracketed and dentiled cornice. However, it also has applied Stick-style decoration above and below some of its windows.

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