The C.J.H. Bassett House is a historic house located at 20 Chestnut Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1851 for Charles Jarvis Hunt Bassett, a prominent Taunton attorney and president of the Taunton Bank.

Description and history

The house is locally significant as a rare example of a Gothic Revival residence in the city. The 2+1⁄2-story frame house features an irregular floor plan and a bell-cast gable roof with Gothic Revival influenced vergeboards, incised and punched with quatrefoil motifs, and pointed arch dormer windows.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.
