The House at 173-175 Ward Street in Newton, Massachusetts, is one of the city's few Federal style houses. Built c. 1800, it is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with clapboard siding, and twin rear wall chimneys. The house has a five bay facade with windows framed by narrow moulding. The main entrance is flanked by paired pilasters surrounding sidelight windows, topped by an entablature.
