The Richard Sparrow House is one of the oldest houses in Plymouth, built in 1640 for the family of English surveyor Richard Sparrow and his family. Located at 42 Summer Street on the banks of Town Brook, the house was built on a 16-acre piece of land granted to Sparrow. The original house was built on two stories and had one room on each floor. With leaded glass windows, large rooms, and paneled walls, it was one of the grandest houses in Plymouth at the time. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic House and is now used as a historic house museum and art gallery. It is part of Plymouth Village Historic District.
