The Daniel Worthen House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. The modest 1+12-story wood-frame house was first owned by Daniel Worthen, a distiller, and is notable as a rare example of Gothic Revival styling in East Somerville. The house has a jigsaw-cut foliate vergeboard on its gable. It has a three-bay front facade, with a front-facing gable roof and a single-story shed-roof porch supported by turned posts.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
