The Maria Bassett House is a historic house at 8 College Avenue in Arlington, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1850, and was one of the first to be built in the northwestern part of the town, most of which was not developed residentially until the 20th century. It is also one of the town's finest examples of Italianate styling, with paired brackets and dentil moulding in the eaves, and corner boards scored to resemble quoins. The porch, which wraps around two sides, is also elaborately decorated, with brackets, dentil moulding, paired columns, and turned balusters.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
