The '''Durgin House''' is a historic house in [Reading, Massachusetts](/source/Reading%2C_Massachusetts).  Built in 1872 by Boston businessman William Durgin, this {{frac|2|1|2}}-story wood-frame house is one of the finest Italianate houses in the town.  It follows a cross-gable plan, with a pair of small side porches and bay windows on the main gable ends.  The porches are supported by chamfered posts on pedestals, and feature roof lines with a denticulated cornice and brackets.  The main roof line also features paired decorative brackets.  There are round-headed windows in the gable ends.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=rea.146|title=NRHP nomination for Durgin House|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-02-20}}</ref>
