The Bryant–Cushing House is a historic First Period house at 768 Main Street in Norwell, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1698 by Deacon Thomas Bryant. It is five bays wide and two deep, and has a large central chimney. The main entrance is centered on the front facade, and is flanked by fluted pilasters supporting a pediment. The house was in the locally prominent Cushing family for roughly two hundred years. Much of the land formerly associated with the house now forms part of the adjacent , conservation land owned by The Trustees of Reservations.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and included in the Norwell Village Area Historic District, in 1976.[1]
