The Frederick Flagg House is a historic house at 65 Fairmont Avenue in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, four bays wide, with a rear roof sloping down to the first floor in a classic New England saltbox profile. The house was built in 1930 by Frederick Flagg, as a copy of the c. 1710 "Home Sweet Home" house in East Hampton, New York. The principal difference is that Flagg's replica has a more elaborate entry, framed by Doric pilasters and topped by a four-light transom and pediment. Its interior also replicates historic woodwork that was on display in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2]
