The Asa and Sylvester Abbot House is a historic rural two-family house at 15-17 Porter Road in Andover, Massachusetts.[2] The house was built in the 1830s by Asa Abbot, a farmer and member of the locally prominent Abbot family. He left the house to his sons, Sylvester and Asa Albert Abbot, who farmed the surrounding land until the turn of the 20th century.[3]

The main block of the house is six bays wide, with a large central chimney. The doors to the separate units are at the end bays of the house, and are recessed, with decorative Greek Revival pilasters and framing. Additions have been added onto each side of the house.[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, where it is incorrectly listed at 15-17 Andover Street.[1]
