The Amos Keyes House is a historic house at 12 Adams Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. This 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1860 by Amos Keyes, a produce dealer. It was originally located on Central Street, but was moved to this location c. 1870 when Keyes sought to build a larger house on the other site. This house exhibits both Greek Revival and Italianate features: the round arch window in the gable is a typical Italianate detail, but the side-hall three-bay layout of the house is Greek Revival, as is the Doric porch.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
