The Henry Bigelow House, built in 1830, is an historic Greek Revival style building located at 15 Bigelow Terrace, in the village of Newton Corner in Newton, Massachusetts. Since Bigelow Terrace is a short cul-de-sac that extends south from Boyd Street in the town of Watertown, the mailing address of this property is Watertown.[2] The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. Its Greek Revival features include corner pilasters and an entablature below the eave. The house is notable as the home of Henry Bigelow, superintendent of Newton's schools at a time when they were recognized as among the most progressive in the nation.[3]

On September 4, 1986, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
