Job Lane House

The Job Lane House is a historic house at 295 North Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. It is a ​2 1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. A leanto section to the rear gives the house a saltbox profile.[2] The house was built c. 1713 by Job Lane, one of Bedford's earliest settlers, on land acquired by his grandfather (also Job Lane) in 1664 from Governor John Winthrop.[3]
