This Queen Anne Victorian house at 39 Converse Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts was built around 1880 as part of a residential development along the street. The 2½-story wood-frame structure displays characteristic period details including a hip roof with cross gable, decorative shingle bands on the second floor and between stories, and an L-shaped plan with a projecting gabled section on the second story positioned above a rounded bay window on the first floor. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, the house remains a well-preserved example of late-nineteenth-century domestic architecture in the region.
