The King House at 328 Brookline Street in Newton, Massachusetts, is a 2½-story timber-frame dwelling erected around 1710, probably by Jonathan Dyke, a cooper, making it one of Newton's rare First Period houses from the town's early settlement. Originally built in the Georgian tradition, the house received Greek Revival styling during the 19th century, most notably in its main entrance, which features a Greek Revival surround with sidelight windows, wide pilasters, and an entablature. The structure is five bays wide with a side gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and clapboard siding. The house is particularly associated with Noah King, a long-time prominent local physician. A plaque dated 1695 marks the house, though this represents a traditional or rumored date rather than the documented construction period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
