The Benjamin Hoyt House is a historic house located at 134 Otis Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Description and history[]

The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built in 1868, and is one of the only bracketed Italianate houses to survive in East Cambridge. It has a front-facing gable whose cornice includes dentil moulding and brackets, and whose fully pedimented gable end has a round-arch window in the tympanum area. The main roof cornice also has dentil moulding and paired brackets, and the front windows have slightly projecting lintel caps.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 1982.[1]
