The Glover House at 249 East Squantum Street in Quincy, Massachusetts is a 2.5-story timber-framed house built in 1798, one of Quincy's few well-preserved Federal style houses. The land it stands on remained in the Glover family for 280 years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1989.

The house is one of Quincy's few well-preserved Federal style houses, though its original Federal door surround was later swapped for a Greek Revival one, layering a second era of taste onto the 1798 frame.
