The Benaiah Titcomb House is a historic First Period house in Essex, Massachusetts. The oldest part of the house, built c. 1700 in Newburyport, was a two-story section two rooms wide, with a central chimney. Sometime before the end of the First Period (c. 1720s) a shed-style leanto addition was added to its rear (the side now facing the street), giving it a saltbox appearance. The house was moved to its present location in 1917, oriented to provide views of the coast. At this time a new chimney was provided, and a large dormer was added to the rear to expand the upstairs living space.[2]

The builder, Benaiah Titcomb, was the son of William Titcomb, an early settler of the area.[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
