The Henry Fletcher House is a historic house at 224 Concord Road in Westford, Massachusetts. Built c. 1810-13, it is a rare example of very late Georgian style timber-frame construction, with a large central chimney characteristic of colonial-era houses. It is styled with a mix of late Georgian and Federal style woodwork. The property's barn was also built by Henry Fletcher using the same construction methods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination and MACRIS inventory record for Henry Fletcher House )〕 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.〔 ==Description and history== The Fletcher House is set on the north side of Concord Road (Massachusetts Route 225), just west of its junction with Preservation Way, in a rural-residential area of southern Westford. It is a 2-1/2 story timber frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. The main facade faces south, and is symmetrically arranged, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a four-light transom window and simple entablature and cornice. The interior layout follows a typical Georgian center-chimney plan, with public rooms on either side of the chimney, and a kitchen area behind. Ells and minor additions, most of them 20th-century enlarge the house. The barn, which stands east of the house, is of similar construction as the house, but was enlarged in the 20th century with a balloon-framed addition.〔 The house and barn were built c. 1810-13 by Henry Fletcher, descended from one of the Westford area's first settlers. It is a distinctive retrograde example of Georgian architecture, at a time when it had been out of fashion for some time. The house is the subject of a historic preservation restriction held by Historic New England.〔
