The Pillar House is a historic house that was once located at 26 Quinobequin Road in Newton, Massachusetts, and was prominently visible from nearby Interstate 95. For many years it housed a restaurant, until the property was taken by the state by eminent domain in 2003. The state sold the house for $1, provided the purchasers paid to move it. The house was deconstructed and rebuilt on Old Sudbury Road in Lincoln in 2005.[2]

It was built in 1845 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
