The Amos Adams House is a historic house at 37 Park Avenue, in the village of Newton Corner, in Newton, Massachusetts. The 2 1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1888, and is an excellent local example of Queen Anne styling. It has asymmetrical massing typical of the style, as well as a variety of projecting gables and porches, an octagonal tower, and tall paneled-brick chimneys. Amos Adams was a Boston businessman, who built the house on land subdivided from the former estate of Albert Brackett.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1986.[1]
