Rufus Lamson House
Rufus Lamson House is an historic house at 72–74 Hampshire Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a few blocks from the Lamson Place.
The house was apparently built and owned by Rufus Lamson and then inherited by his widow Mary Jane Lamson whom he married at Boston, on Thanksgiving Eve, 1832. Rufus Lamson was a stonemason and a large holder of real estate, known for his liberal treatment of the landlord and tenant relation. He was a member of the Universalist Church in Cambridge and served as an assessor for the city for twenty-two years.
Rufus Lamson and his son, Rufus William Lamson ran a firm Rufus Lamson & Son that built many of the substantial brick structures now standing in Cambridgeport.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
