The Warren Rawson Building is a historic multi-unit residence at 68-74 Franklin Street in Arlington, Massachusetts. It is a rare surviving farm worker's dormitory, built in 1895 by Warren Rawson, a leading garden farmer in Arlington around the turn of the 20th century. It is a long rectangular 2.5 story wood frame building, with its gable end to the street. Access to the inside is via a pair of entrances on the long side which are sheltered by modest porches.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
