The William F. Kessler House is a historic house at 211 Highland Street in Newton, Massachusetts. Built in 1913, the 1 1/2 story wood frame house is a fine example of rustic Craftsman styling. The front roof slopes down to form a porch, which is supported by brick and fieldstone piers. The roofline is pierced by a multi-section dormer with varying window size, shapes, and roof lines. The house was built as infill in an already-developed part of West Newton Hill by Frank Kneeland, a local builder. William Kessler was a salesman.[2]

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