Description and history
The George D. Robinson House is located in the Chicopee Center section of the city of Chicopee, Massachusetts. It sits on the corner of Howard and Springfield Street - Chicopee. It is a simple 3-story Second Empire-style house.

The house is noted to have been the home of local businessman; D. Frank Hale and his family. Who at the time was listed in censuses and city directories as a real estate broker, merchant, and local landlord. In the 1870 census, the real estate was worth around $88,500. The Hale family lived here until about 1878, moving to Springfield.

The home was later sold to George D. Robinson, who was, at the time, serving his first term in Congress. George would live here until his death in 1896.

In 1917, the house was sold to the Roman Catholic Church, becoming a rectory for the Assumption Church next door, which was a predominantly French-Canadian parish that served some of the many factory workers who had immigrated to Chicopee from Quebec.
