The Moses Brewer House (also known as the Goulding House) is a historic late First Period house located in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

Description and history

The oldest portion of this 2+12-story timber-framed house was built c. 1720–1730, and was apparently moved to its present site from its original location in Wayland sometime in the 18th century. It probably began as a "two cell" house (five bays wide and one deep) with central chimney, to which the rear leanto and a "Beverly jog" (a leanto portion that extends beyond the side of the house) were added later. The house underwent a major restoration in the 1920s. It has an original dog-leg staircase that ascends all the way into the attic, a relative rarity.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1990.[1]
