The Webster-Lane House is a historic Greek Revival residence in Gloucester, Massachusetts, constructed before 1845. This two-story wood-frame dwelling exemplifies the style with distinctive Greek Revival features, particularly its columned porch, which is notably unique among Gloucester's surviving architecture. The house was home to Nathaniel Webster, a hotel proprietor and ice dealer, during the 1850s, and later served as the residence of Samuel R. Lane, a prominent merchant and shipper of fish products, from 1869 to 1900. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
