The House at 57 Woburn Street in Reading, Massachusetts is a Queen Anne style house designed by architect Horace G. Wadlin and built c. 1889 for Alfred Danforth, railroad employee who served for a time as Reading's town clerk. It is one of the town's more elaborate Queen Anne houses, with patterned shingles and an ornately decorated porch. The front-facing gable is particularly elaborate, with wave-form shingling and a pair of sash windows set in a curved recess. [2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1]
