We are pleased that you are considering Queset House at 51 Main Street in North Easton for your special event. Named for the stream which meanders through its manicured grounds, this stone English Gothic house was built in 1853-4 for Oakes Angier Ames (1829-1899), along the style of cottage villas illustrated in A.J. Downing’s Architecture of Country Houses. Queset House has a beautiful walled garden, sloping lawns, and a pathway to the restored Italianate Queset Garden. The lovely wood paneled main floor has three large rooms, including a kitchen and a bathroom, ideal for small-to-medium events. Queset House is a casually elegant, affordable option that gives you the flexibility to design a memorable, personalized event.
This house is a historic building and part of the Ames Free Library Campus. Because of the unique nature of our property, we are limited to only a few special events each year during specific times. Your event could be one of them!
Queset House can accommodate parties of up to 40 people. Please note that we are no longer able to accommodate weddings of any size.
