The Benjamin F. Clough House, a 2½-story wood-frame dwelling in Waltham, Massachusetts, was built around 1855 as one of the city's few temple-front Greek Revival residences. Its façade retains Ionic columns supporting a two-level porch and front gable, though it has lost period details including paneled piers and Colonial Revival corner brackets that once adorned it. A Palladian window in the front gable, a Colonial Revival addition later fitted with modern sashes, further reflects the house's evolving aesthetic. Benjamin Clough, the original owner, operated a shoe manufactory on the property's rear. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
