The Merrill Double House is an historic two family house at 18-20 West Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story Victorian Gothic Revival brick building was built c. 1879, apparently by the heirs of a local shopowner, Enoch Merrill, whose house had previously stood on the lot. The two units are symmetrically laid out on either side of a common party wall. The center of the main facade includes a porch that shelters the paired entrances, and each side facade includes a pavilion that rises a full three stories with a steeply pitched roof.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
