The H. Langford Warren House is an historic house at 6 Garden Terrace in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a three-story structure, with a stuccoed exterior and a brick foundation. Its entry is sheltered by a Renaissance Revival hood supported by columns, and is flanked by sidelight windows. The windows are generally uniform in size and shape, but the number of lights varies, and they are grouped in places (for example, the stairwell above the main entrance) to provide additional lighting. The house was designed by and for H. Langford Warren, organizer and first department head of
Harvard University's architecture department.
