The Isaac Davis House is an historic house at 1 Oak Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The distinctive Italianate brick and brownstone house was built in 1870 by Isaac Davis (1799-1883), a prominent local lawyer and banker. The three story house has a low hipped roof with a modillioned and dentilled cornice, and two similar main facades, facing Oak Street and Elm Street. These facades are divided into three bays, with the outer bays consisting of paired windows topped by brownstone architrave caps. The central bays are very slightly recessed, with single windows on the second and third floors. The entries are sheltered by elaborate Corinthian porticos, that on the Oak Street facade being slightly larger. The house was extensively renovated in 1888 to designs by architect Stephen Earle.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] It is now home to the private Worcester Club.
