Peter Walker House

The Peter Walker House is a historic colonial house located at 1679 Somerset Avenue in Taunton, Massachusetts.

Description and history
Built in about 1727, this $2 1/2$-story, Georgian style, wood-framed house is the oldest documented house in the city. It is five bays wide and two bays deep, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. Its main entry is framed by pilasters, and topped by a fanlight and gabled pediment. Peter Walker purchased the land, and is said to have built the house soon afterward as a wedding present for his new bride.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.
