The Leonard Sturtevant House is a historic house at 84 Mulberry Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built c. 1849, it is a locally distinctive variant of Greek Revival styling, and a rare surviving element of the early development of the city's Belmont Hill area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

Description and history

The Leonard Sturtevant House is located southeast of downtown Worcester, at the southeast corner of Mulberry and Prospect Streets near the base of Belmont Hill. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and exterior clad in modern siding. The house has a T shape, with projecting rectangular sections on each side. Both the front gable and the gables of the projections are fully pedimented; the main gable has an arched window in the tympanum, while the side gables have small octagonal windows. The cross of the T is topped by a square cupola. An open porch supported by Doric columns wraps around to the sides of the house.[2] Portions of the house's originally more elaborate Greek Revival design have been obscured or lost by the application of modern siding.

The house was built about 1849, a period when Belmont Hill saw a brief boom of middle-class housing set on spacious lots. This period did not last, because of the area's close proximity to industrial sites and a notoriously problematic immigrant quarter, and was largely redeveloped with more dense lower-class worker housing later in the 19th century. Leonard Sturtevant, the first documented owner, was a tailor who lived here in the late 19th century.[2]
