The Cushing Homestead is a historic house at 210 East Street in Hingham, Massachusetts. The home is a 2+1⁄2-story rear saltbox, and has traces of both 17th-century English style as well as later 18th-century Georgian. The two rooms that originally made up the house look much today as they likely did before the house was later enlarged. ()
