The '''Charles Wells House''' is a historic house at 99 Prescott Street in [[Reading, Massachusetts]]. The two-story Queen Anne Victorian wood-frame house was built in 1894 by Charles Wells, a [[New Brunswick]] blacksmith who married a Reading woman. The house is clad in clapboards and has a gable roof, and features a turret with an ornamented copper finial and a front porch supported by turned posts, with a turned balustrade between. A small triangular dormer gives visual interest to the roof above the porch. The house is locally distinctive as a surviving example of a modest Queen Anne house, complete with a period carriage house/barn.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://mhc-macris.net/Details.aspx?MhcId=REA.122|title=NRHP nomination for Charles Wells House|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|accessdate=2014-02-15}}</ref>
