The Walter Keene House is a historic house located at 28 High Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The 2+12-story wood-frame building was constructed c. 1900 and serves as an excellent local example of a transitional Queen Anne-Colonial Revival house. Its hip roof and front porch are typically Colonial Revival, while the left-side turret and turned posts and balusters exhibit Queen Anne characteristics. The house was built for Walter Keene, a local shoe salesman and banker who played a significant role in developing much of the surrounding area. Stoneham's Keene Street is named in his honor.[2]

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