The Dr. Henry Jacob Bigelow House at 742 Dedham Street in Newton, Massachusetts is one of the last private residences designed by noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson.^[2] Designed in 1885, the building was built just a few years before Bigelow's death. The house was restored and divided into five condos in the 1980s by the PBS television series This Old House.^[3] Some of the original features, including a circular tower, have been preserved. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[1]

Henry Jacob Bigelow was a well known Boston surgeon and a professor at Harvard Medical College. Interestingly, Bigelow's father, Jacob Bigelow, a co-founder of Harvard Medical College and MIT, was also a noted architect, designing Bigelow Chapel and the George Washington Memorial Tower in the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown, Massachusetts.
