Saint Paul's Rectory, located at 130 Aspinwall Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts, is a 2½-story Jacobethan stone house designed by the architectural firm Peabody and Stearns and completed in 1886. Built as a residence for the rector of the neighboring Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, the house was designed to complement its companion church's Gothic Revival style. The exterior showcases Brighton puddingstone and Nova Scotia freestone, while its distinctive features include gable ends with elbows on the parapet walls and upper-level windows with diamond panes. Construction was funded by the children of Henry Savage Chase in his memory. The rectory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
