“The Charles Adams-Woodbury Locke House is an historic house at 178 Central Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival house was built about 1840 for a Boston leather merchant and was one of the first residences of a commuter, rather than a farmer, in the Winter Hill neighborhood of the city.
