The John Wescott Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house at 454 Pleasant Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is a well-preserved example of a Queen Anne triple-decker (built c. 1892), which is unusual in part for its orientation with the long axis parallel to the street. This adaptation was done to fit the building onto a long, narrow lot. The entry is slightly off-center in a section with porches on all three floors. The porches have turned balusters and posts. The walls are clad in alternating sections of clapboards and shingles, and the roof has a cornice studded with pairs of brackets.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
