The Joseph Cleale House is a historic house located in Sherborn, Massachusetts.
Description and history
[edit]It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, with a front-facing gable roof, clapboard siding, and twin interior chimneys. A two-story hip-roofed ell extends to the rear of the main block. The house was built c. 1820–25, and is one of the town's best-preserved transitional Federal/Greek Revival houses. Its twin recessed porches are a distinctive feature not found in any older houses, as are the Gothic-looking window caps on the main block.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
