Durgin House

The Durgin House is a historic house in Reading, Massachusetts. Built in 1872 by Boston businessman William Durgin, this 2+12-story wood-frame house is one of the finest Italianate houses in the town. It follows a cross-gable plan, with a pair of small side porches and bay windows on the main gable ends. The porches are supported by chamfered posts on pedestals, and feature roof lines with a denticulated cornice and brackets. The main roof line also features paired decorative brackets. There are round-headed windows in the gable ends.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
