The Capt. Edward Fuller Farm is a historic farmstead at 59-71 North Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The original farmhouse is at #59, and the barn, now converted to a house, is at #71. The house is estimated to have been built c. 1775, possibly using materials from an even older structure; the barn is estimated to have been built in 1800. The house was original 1+1⁄2 stories, and was raised to its present 2+1⁄2 in the 1840s. The barn was converted to residential use c. 1950. The house was probably built by Edward Fuller, whose great-grandfather was one of the first settlers of the area.[2]
