The Peter Walker House is a historic colonial house at 1679 Somerset Avenue in Taunton, Massachusetts. Built c. 1727, this 2-1/2 story wood frame house is the oldest documented house in the city. It is five bays wide and two deep, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. Its main entry is framed by pilasters, and topped by a fanlight and gabled pediment. Peter Walker purchased the land, and is said to have built the house soon afterward as a wedding present for his new bride.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
