  ## Description and history
  
  This 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1886 by Waldo Stearns, and is a well-preserved local example of a Queen Anne Victorian. It was purchased in 1930 by Doctor William Parry Murphy, who shared the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering a cure for pernicious anemia. (The home of one of Murphy's corecipients, Dr. George Minot, is also located in Brookline, and is a National Historic Landmark.)
  
  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.
