The Henry Stewart House is a historic house at 294 Linden Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story brick building was built c.1900–01, and is a rare local example of Jacobethan style. The house was built as the gardener's cottage for Cornelia Warren's Cedar Hill estate.[2] The house was designed by Boston architect John A. Fox.[3] Fox based his design on that of Nun Upton, a 17th-century English country house in Herefordshire near Brimfield which is now a Grade II listed building.[4]

The house has a T-shaped plan, with projecting end gables that project upward in curved Flemish styling. The second level above the main entrance is half-timbered wood construction. The walls have highlighting heavy beltcourses, and the chimneys are topped by corbelled pots.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
