Facts and practical information

The Fuller–Bemis House is a historic house at 41–43 Cherry Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1776, and is one of Waltham's few 18th century houses. It was built when the south side, where it is located, was still part of Newton. It was converted into a two-family structure in the 19th century. Its relatively plain Georgian styling sets it apart from the later 19th century housing that surrounds it. ()
