This article is about the Choate House in Massachusetts. For the Choate House in New York, formerly owned by the same Choate family, see Choate House (New York).
Choate House was built around 1730, was the birthplace of lawyer and public citizen Rufus Choate (1799–1859), and has remained virtually unchanged for over two centuries. It stands on Hog Island, also called Choate Island, and is accessible only by boat.
