The House at 29 Mt. Vernon Street in Somerville, Massachusetts is a well preserved Greek Revival cottage. The 1.5 story wood frame house was built in the late 1840s, when Mt. Vernon Street was a site of significant development activity. The house is distinctive on the street, as most of the other houses are larger. This house features wide eaves, and a full pedimented gable end above a porch with Ionic columns. It has an elaborate front door surrounded, with framed paneling and pilasters.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
