The Gov. Levi Lincoln House is an historic house at 4 Avalon Place in Worcester, Massachusetts. This Greek Revival house is one of the first of the style to be built in the city; it was built for Levi Lincoln, Jr., who had recently ended a long tenure as Governor of Massachusetts, and was designed by noted local architect Elias Carter. Lincoln had this house built as a temporary home to live in while a larger Carter-designed mansion was built nearby, and sold it when the latter was finished. The house was moved to its present location in 1878.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
