Bryant–Cushing House

The Bryant–Cushing House is a historic First Period house at 768 Main Street in Norwell, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1698 by Deacon Thomas Bryant. It is five bays wide and two deep, and has a large central chimney. The main entrance is centered on the front facade, and is flanked by fluted pilasters supporting a pediment. The house was in the locally prominent Cushing family for roughly two hundred years. Much of the land formerly associated with the house now forms part of the adjacent Norris Reservation, conservation land owned by The Trustees of Reservations.[2]
