The Woodland Farm–Leland House in Sherborn, Massachusetts, is a historic structure whose construction spans more than two centuries of American domestic architecture. Built around 1705 by Hopestill Leland as a modest three-bay section with chimney, the house was enlarged by a leanto addition circa 1715, then expanded to a full five-bay width around 1760. Ells were subsequently added to either side in approximately 1820 and 1950, creating a composite exterior that displays Georgian origins alongside Federal and Italianate elements. The original clapboards have been covered with shingles. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the house documents the evolving needs and tastes of its occupants across the colonial, federal, and nineteenth-century periods.
