The Babson-Alling House is a historic colonial house at 245 Washington Street in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The 2,5 story Georgian house was built in 1740 by William Allen, and remains one of Gloucester's finest houses of the period. It is a typical house of the time, with a center chimney plan and a gambrel roof. The house was bought by Joseph Low in 1779; his daughter Elizabeth married Nathaniel Babson, and their son ended up inheriting the property. It remained in the Babson family into the 20th century, eventually being inherited by Low descendant Elizabeth Alling. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
