The House at 113-115 Center Street, built in 1880, it is a historic building in Methuen, Massachusetts.

Center Street was one of the first streets to experience residential development due to the expansion of the Arlington textile Mills. It lies in what is now the Arlington Mills Historic District, the area immediately to the west along Stevens Pond of the Spicket River. The mills employed thousands of Lawrence and Methuen workers and owned little operative housing.[2]

This residence is one of the few surviving example of an early two family duplex house (side by side house) seen in approximately six locations throughout the District.

It is a well-preserved example, in an area where there has been considerable demolition and alteration. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
