The Moses Packard House is a historic house located at 647 Main Street in Brockton, Massachusetts.

Description and history

It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, with a first floor finished in rusticated stone. The house has a variety of gables, projections, and porches, typical of the Queen Anne style, including a three-story turret capped by a conical roof. It was built in 1897 by Moses Packard, a prominent local shoemaker, and is one of the city's finest examples of Queen Anne architecture.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] The house now serves as the Dahlborg-MacNevin Funeral Home.[3][4]
