The Charles L. Baxter House is a historic house located at 77 Main Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts.

Description and history[edit]

The 1+12-story Greek Revival wood-frame house was built c. 1858 by Charles L. Baxter, a local housewright who then lived there until his death. The house has an L-shaped layout, with the front entrance on the front of the main block, and a porch in the crook of the L. The house's corners are decorated with pilasters, as is the front door entry, which is topped by an entablature and lintel shelf.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.[1]
