The George Taft House is a historic house at 153 Richardson Street in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. The two-story timber-frame house was built in c. 1810.
Taft Benson, Sr, a famous Mormon Pioneer, lived in the house from 1817 to 1835.[2] It is a well-preserved example of Federal-style architecture, expressed mainly in its door surround, which includes pilasters and a broken pedimented gable above a half-round transom window. In the middle of the 19th century it was the home of George Washington Taft, a farmer and local state representative.[3]
On October 7, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
