The House at 18A and 20 Aborn Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts is a historic house and carriage house with elaborate Queen Anne styling. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built in the early 1880s, when Aborn Street and the surrounding neighborhood was developed. The house has irregular massing: the main part of the house has a rough L shape, but it is studded with porches, bay windows, and an extended porte cochere. Several architectural details appear in several places, including gable sections that project slightly over the main wall surface below, and vertically laid trim below some of the cornices. The former carriage house, which has been fully converted for residential use, carries through some of these details.[2]

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