The Amos Judkins House, located at 8 Central Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts, is a 2½-story wood-frame residence built around 1884 that exemplifies the Queen Anne style. Its exterior displays the hallmark asymmetrical massing and varied silhouette characteristic of the period, with multiple gables, projections, and recessed sections creating visual interest. The house combines clapboard siding with decoratively cut wood shingles, while its front porch features a distinctive gable-topped arch as its central focal point. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the house remains a well-preserved example of late 19th-century residential architecture.
