The Cole House is a historic house on Highland Avenue in Winchester, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame Stick/Eastlake, Queen Anne style house was built in 1886 by Frank and Emma Cole, who lived there until 1929. It was one of the most elaborate displays of Stick style decoration with extensive woodwork in its gable ends, and carved braces on its porches.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989,[1] and has since been recorded as demolished by the Massachusetts Historical Commission.[3] The building, originally set at the corner of Mason Street and Highland Avenue, has been moved a short distance from its original location and is now oriented facing Highland Avenue, standing on a new foundation with a garage underneath.
