The Pierce House is a historic house at 128 Salem Street in Reading, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built sometime between 1875 and 1880 for Samuel Pierce, owner of the nearby Pierce Organ Pipe Factory. The house has Stick style/Eastlake style features, including a steeply pitched gable roof with exposed rafter ends, and an elaborately decorated entry porch with square chamfered columns and brackets in the eaves.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
