Dewey Place is a historic house in Reading, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1853 by John Mansfield, a shoe manufacturer, in what was then a popular upper-class neighborhood of the town. The house as classic Italianate design, with three bays across the front and a cupola (a somewhat common Italianate feature in Reading houses of the period). The front porch appears to be a 20th-century alteration. The house’s most prominent owner was Francis O. Dewey, a major dealer in glass lantern globes.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
