One of Newton's oldest surviving buildings

The John Woodward House at 50 Fairlee Road is one of Newton's oldest surviving buildings. Built sometime before 1686, the structure is a 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame building that is four bays wide and one deep.

The house features a large central chimney and a front entry enclosed in a Colonial Revival portico. The entry also includes sidelight windows that were probably added in the 19th century.

For 275 years, the family of John Woodward owned the house. John Woodward was one of Newton's early settlers, and the home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
