The Glover House is a historic house at 249 E. Squantum Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1798, and is one of Quincy's few well-preserved Federal style houses. An addition was added to the rear in the late 19th century, and a Greek Revival porch and door surround were added (the latter replacing an earlier Federal surround). The land the house was built on was in the Glover family for 280 years.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
