The John Aborn House is an historic house at 41 Orchard Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was one of the first Italianate style houses in Cambridge, built in 1846, just one year after the style was introduced. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a side gable roof. The decorative brackets in its eaves, and its windows with bracketed lintels, are the main Italianate features. The house was built by Joshua Fernald, a local master carpenter, and was located for convenient access to the Fitchburg Railroad depot (now the Porter MBTA station).[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
