The Frank Reed Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was built c. 1888 for Frank Reed, an electrician and machinist who eventually opened his own business. The house is a particularly elegant example of a Queen Anne triple decker. Its porch has square cut chamfered posts, is decorated with lattice work, and has a projecting gabled top. The right side bay is round with a conical roof section, and is clad in shingles cut in a wavy pattern. The deep cornice is decorated with brackets near the corners.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
