The Mayor Edwin O. Childs House is a historic house located at 340 California Street in Newton, Massachusetts. It is a stucco-clad two story wood-frame structure with a side gable roof and a three-bay shed-roof dormer. The centered entrance is sheltered by a square portico supported by paired square columns and topped by a balustrade.
The house was built in 1915 to a design by Brainerd and Leeds for Edwin O. Childs, who was then serving as Newton's mayor. The house is a well-preserved example of the Craftsman style.[2]
