The C. Lewis Harrison House is a historic house at 14 Eliot Memorial Road in Newton, Massachusetts. The 1 3/4 story wood-frame house was built c. 1915 for Charles Lewis Harrison, a Boston lawyer. It is an excellent example of a Craftsman cottage, attractively set on a wooded lot overlooking the Commonwealth Country Club. Its roof has a large shed-roof dormer, above which there are two eyebrow windows. The roof slopes down over a porch, and is supported by large rustic concrete columns. The main entrance is traditional in appearance, with flanking sidelight windows and a fanlight above. Twin rubblestone chimneys rise from the sides of the house.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
