Now on the campus of Harvard University, this large Greek Revival wood-frame house was built in 1833 for Professor Charles Beck, and was later purchased and adapted by the physically disabled Henry Clarke Warren, a Sanskrit scholar.

It has a 2+1⁄2-story main block, which is covered by a front-facing gable roof, with single-story side-gabled wings extending to the sides that are flush with the front facade.

The main facade faces west, into a pedestrian area providing access to the other Harvard buildings on the block.

A single-story porch extends across the central three bays, its flat roof and entablature supported by smooth Doric columns.

Warren made numerous alterations to the interior to accommodate his physical disability, including an overly sized heating system which he was said to run up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
