The Nathaniel Drown House is a historic house located in Rehoboth, Massachusetts.

Description and history

[edit]

Built in about 1750, this two-story, wood-framed house is one of the best-preserved local examples of the once-common gambrel roof Georgian house. Its builder is unknown; its first documented owner was Nathaniel Drown, who owned it during the American Revolutionary War. The interior retains its original wood paneling, fireplaces, and flooring. The property also includes a c. 1840 barn and a mid-19th century carriage barn.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1983.[1]
