The Harrison Loring House is a historic house at 789 East Broadway in the South Boston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story brick mansion, with a mansard roof in the Second Empire style. It has brownstone trim around the windows, a modillioned cornice, and a projecting center section with its entrance sheltered by a shallow portico. It was built in 1865 for Harrison Loring, owner of the City Point Iron Works, a major South Boston shipyard, at which steamships were built in the late 19th century. Loring lived in this house until his death in 1894.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983[1] and designated as a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission in 1984
