The Hovey-Winn House is a historic house at 384 Main Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The 1.5 story Greek Revival cottage was built c. 1841 by John Coats, a local housewright who built a number of houses along Main Street. It is one of a small number of local houses (the nearby Horace Hatch House is another) with a side gable roof that overhangs a full-width Doric porch. The house in the 19th century had a number of locally prominent individuals, include Reverend William Eustis, druggist Josiah Hovey, and Hovey's son-in-law Denis Winn, who owned the town's first livery stable.[2]

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