Houses and mansions in Wakefield
This tour visits places the Register records as dwellings, among them single houses, rowhouses and mansions. Many are private homes and the stops are meant to be seen from the sidewalk. More of the Wakefield register is houses than any other kind of building, 67 listings of it in all.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1795 to 1922. 15 stops, 1.1 miles end to end.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
