Whittemore's Tavern is a historic building at 473 Auburn Street in the Auburndale village of Newton, Massachusetts. It was operated as a tavern for a time in the 18th century, but it is now a private residence. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1724, probably by William Robinson II, sone of one of Auburndale's early settlers. It served as a tavern in the 1760s, when Auburn Street was a major east-west thoroughfare. The asymmetrical window placement on the front facade suggests that the house may have been built in stages.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
