The Samuel Dexter House is a historic house at 699 High Street, Dedham, Massachusetts.[3] It was built, beginning in July 1761, by Samuel Dexter, a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress.[4][5][6]
Dexter purchased the property on which the house stands on March 18, 1761.[5] The house was next door to the parsonage of the First Church and Parish in Dedham, where he grew up.[6] The house was the childhood home of the Secretary of the Treasury Samuel Dexter.[7] Dexter hosted Governor Thomas Hutchinson at the house in 1771.[8]
The building was remodeled in 1901 following the design of J. Harleston Parker, using Colonial revival elements.[9][7] The Samuel Dexter House is a contributing property to the Dedham Village Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 2006.[3]
