The Rev. Edmund Dowse House is a historic house at 25 Farm Road in Sherborn, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1838 for the Rev. Edmund Dowse, the first pastor of the Evangelical Society (now the Pilgrim Church). Dowse was also politically active, serving in the state legislature and on town civic bodies. His son, William Bradford Homer Dowse, was a major benefactor of the town. The house is a locally typical side-gable three-bay house, which was originally Greek Revival in style, but was later updated with Italianate details.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
