The Brown–Stow House or Ichabod Stow House is a historic First Period house in Stow, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this two-story timber-frame house was probably built early in the 18th century, and consisted of a single "cell" three bays wide, two stories high, with what is now the central chimney in a side bay. During the 18th century it was expanded twice, adding a second cell (giving it the classic five-bay facade) and a rear leanto (giving it the classic saltbox appearance). It has had two modest 20th century additions. The house underwent a major restoration in the 1950s to return it to an 18th-century appearance. The house was probably built by Boaz Brown, who acquired the property in 1699 and died in 1711.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
