The Jonathan Brooks House is a historic house at 2 Woburn Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The house is estimated to have been built in the 1780s (the property is only described as including a house in 1791), although it may incorporate elements of an older structure. Jonathan Brooks, its owner in 1791, was a tanner and a member of the locally prominent Brooks family which owned much of West Medford at the time. The house is one of a small number of 18th century gambrel-roofed houses to survive in the city.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1] It continues to be held in the Brooks family.
