The John E. Olcott House is a historic house at 35–37 Central Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1837, the two story house is a rare local example of Federal style executed in brick. The house was built and occupied by John Olcott, a bricklayer, and is essentially vernacular in its styling, lacking some of the flourishes found in the more elaborate Elijah Fiske House. It is five bays wide, with a shallow-pitch hip roof, twin chimneys, and a projecting enclosed entry vestibule.[2]
