The buildings at 15–17 Lee Street are a historic double house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1856, and is a rare local instance of an Italianate duplex. It has paired arched windows on the first floor, a richly decorated front porch, and an extended cornice. The corners of the first two floors have quoining, and the half story above alternates small windows and panels with balusters.[2]
