The Josiah Tobey House was a historic house located at 67 Oxbow Road in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
The 1-3/4 story wood-frame house was built in 1854 for Sandwich native Josiah Tobey, whose in-laws owned land in the area. The house is a locally distinctive example of Greek Revival styling, with a Doric porch under a wide and steep gable. The entry is located on the right side of the porch, and has been enclosed between two of the four columns. The two windows under the porch extend from floor to ceiling.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1994.[1] The house was badly damaged by fire in January 2024 and demolished the following year.
