[1] The Fuller House stands at the northwest corner of Burrill Lane and Forest Street in northwestern Needham.

The house exterior is finished in clapboards, and the sole chimney is placed off-center behind the ridge line.

[2] The house was built in 1707 by Robert Fuller, a prominent local resident from one of the area's early families.

It originally stood where 46 Burrill Lane is, and was moved by Fuller in 1750 to its present location to make way for a new house.

In the early 20th century, the additions were made to the side and rear, and the central chimney replaced by the present one.
