The only brick-ended house in Cohasset

Built in 1821, this wood-frame house stands as the only brick-ended residence in the town of Cohasset.

The Caleb Lothrop House is a historic house in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Built in 1821, the two-story hip-roof wood-frame house is the only brick-ended house in the town.

The house is a well-preserved example of Federal styling. It features a center entry flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters. For a time, the house served as the headquarters of the Cohasset Historical Society.

Caleb Lothrop was the builder of the house. He was descended from one of the area's first settlers and was the grandson of a Revolutionary War militia leader. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
