Stanley Lake House

The Stanley Lake House is a historic First Period house at 95 River Road in Topsfield, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame house that was built in stages by Mathew Stanley between c. 1683 and 1693 and subsequently enlarged, illustrating a host of building practices over the 17th and 18th centuries. Stanley's heirs sold the property in 1718 to Eleazer Lake. The property also includes a rare First Period barn. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. In 2005 it was named a contributing property to the River Road-Cross Street Historic District.
