William Parker House


The William Parker House is a historic house at 55 Walnut Street in Reading, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1796, was expanded early in the 19th century into a two family residence, and converted back into a single family in the early 20th century. It is notable for its association with William Parker, a dissenter from the doctrines espoused by the local Congregational Church. In 1849 he joined with other members of his extended family in splitting the congregation.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
