The Joshua Jennison House is a historic house at 11 Thornton Street in the Newton Corner village of Newton, Massachusetts. The 2 1/2 story wood frame house was built in the 1840s, and is an exceptional example of a modest Greek Revival house. The first floor area under the wraparound porch is flushboarded, and the front entry is flanked by sidelight windows and cornerboards. The house has pilastered corner boards and a full entablature. Houses of this type were once quite common in Newton.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
