The Abraham Adams House is a historic First Period house at 8 Pearson Drive in Newbury, Massachusetts. The oldest part of the house, its front section, was built between 1705 and 1707 by Abraham Adams, a farmer and sea captain who was married to the granddaughter of jurist Samuel Sewall. That portion consisted of a two-story wood-frame with two rooms on each floor, on either side of a central chimney. Later additions include a two-story ell projecting from the rear of the house, to which is connected a single story modern addition, giving the whole house an "I" shape.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
