The Eldridge House is a historic house located at 172 County Street in Taunton, Massachusetts.

Description and history

It is a 2+12-story, wood-framed structure, with a five-bay wide front facade and an unusually broad front-facing gable roof with two levels within it.[2] It was built for a laborer in about 1850 in the Greek Revival style; its form is very rare for southeastern New England, and is more commonly found in northern Worcester County, southern New Hampshire and in the Connecticut River valley.[3] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[1]
