The Lenoir Dow House is a historic house at 215 Adams Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built in 1888, during the building boom of the 1880s on Waltham's south side. Built to house workers at the Waltham Watch Company, the house is a well-preserved Queen Anne Victorian, with an asymmetrical facade, hip roof topped by iron cresting, and a porch with ornate woodwork. Lenoir Dow, the first owner, was a machinist.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
