The Susan Russell House is a historic house at 58 Sycamore Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. It was a scene of 3 brutal murders in its first 70 years and has since been regarded as one of Massachusetts' most haunted houses. The 1.5 story Greek Revival cottage is estimated to have been built in the 1830s, based on a stylistic analysis. It is a rare survivor of a style that was once common in Somerville. Greek Revival element is its door surround.[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
