The Isaac Hobbs House is a historic colonial house at 87 North Avenue in Weston, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1729 by Isaac Hobbs, making it one of Weston's oldest buildings. Hobbs, and several generations of his descendants, occupied this house, and were politically active in the town. They also operated a tannery adjacent to the house, which was a significant business in the town.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982,[1] and included in the Kendal Green Historic District in 2000.[2]
