The Elias Crawford House is an historic octagon house located in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is one of two such houses in the city. The house was built sometime in the 1850s for an unknown owner; its first owner of record was Elias Crawford, a textile manufacturer, in 1870. It is a two-story frame house, with a wraparound porch, supported by chamfered posts, covering a portion of the first floor. A service wing was added to its rear (south and west sides) in the 19th century, and there is a stable on the property that appears to date to the time of the house.[2]
