The Nathan Fisher House is a historic house in Westborough, Massachusetts.
The wood frame Federal style house was built c. 1820 by Nathan Fisher, who had married into the locally prominent Lothrop family. Fisher operated a store, which fell into decline after the area was bypassed by the railroad in 1834. Next to the house was also built a thread factory (no longer standing) where the first steam power was used in Westborough. [2] The property was purchased by the state in 1884 and became part of the (now closed) Lyman School for Boys. [2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, [1] and included in the historic district encompassing the Lyman School in 1994. [2]
