John A. Fenno House 
Summary
The John A. Fenno House is a historic house at 171 Lowell Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1854, and is a rare local example of Gothic Revival styling. It has an L-shaped plan with steeply gabled roof, diamond windows in the gable ends, and first-floor polygonal bays whose roof lines are bracketed. It was built for John Fenno, who later served as Newton's ninth mayor. When built, it stood at Walnut Street and Madison Avenue; it was moved to this location about 1885.[2]
