Edward Oakes House

The Edward Oakes House is a historic house at 5 Sylvia Road in Medford, Massachusetts. It is a $2 1/2$-story timber-frame house, five bays wide, with a gambrel roof, wood shingle siding, and a brick foundation. A rear leanto section gives the house a saltbox appearance. The main entrance is flanked by sidelight windows. It was built c. 1728, probably by Edward Oakes. It is one of the oldest surviving wood-frame houses in Medford, and is unusual for the period due to its gambrel roof.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
