51 Harvard Street, Worcester, MAA distinctive opportunity to own one of Worcester’s architecturally significant historic properties. Built in 1879, Whitcomb Hall is an exceptional High Victorian Queen Anne property prominently situated at the corner of Harvard and Highland Streets. Designed by noted Worcester architect Stephen C. Earle, the granite mansion combines a commanding exterior presence with remarkably preserved interior craftsmanship. Originally constructed for Worcester businessman and philanthropist George H. Whitcomb, the property is distinguished by its granite construction, signature round tower, slate roof, elaborate millwork, decorative fireplaces and extensive stained glass. Whitcomb Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains one of the city’s notable surviving examples of late-19th-century residential architecture. Today, the property offers a rare combination of historic character, professional office functionality, on-site parking and a highly visible Worcester location. Its substantial main building and separate carriage house create flexibility for an owner-user, professional office, institutional or other adaptive-reuse opportunity, subject to zoning and approvals.
