The Benjamin Hibbard Residence, located at 5–7 Gerry Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts, is a two-story wood-frame house built around 1850 that exemplifies the modest worker residences of its era. Clad in clapboard and blending Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles, the house features double brackets along its cornice, pilastered corners, and a decorated central porch sheltering twin entrances—hallmarks of its period design. One of Stoneham's few surviving well-preserved 19th-century double houses, it is known to have housed carriage driver Benjamin Hibbard during the 1870s and 1880s. The residence was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
