The Ephraim Hammond House, also known as Cedar Hill, stands at 265 Beaver Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, as a two-story wood-frame dwelling built in 1775. It is notable as Waltham's only side-hall Georgian house, representing a distinctive architectural arrangement within its architectural tradition. In the nineteenth century, the property became part of the Cedar Hill estate of Cornelia Lyman Warren, and was subsequently donated to the Massachusetts council of the Girl Scouts of the USA in the early twentieth century. The house underwent restoration under the direction of the Girl Scouts and Helen Storrow, a pioneering leader of the girls' scouting movement, and now functions as one of the council's service centers. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
