The George Loring House is a historic house at 76 Highland Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story Shingle style wood frame house was built c. 1895 for George F. Loring, an architect who also designed it. The house has roughly rectangular massing, with brick facing on the first floor and wood shingles on the upper levels. The front facade has a central projecting section that includes a window bay on the second floor and a polygonally hipped roof dormer above. The windows in this section have diamond mullions. Combined with the wood shingling, this gives the house a medieval English manor appearance.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
