The George Bentley House is a historic house at 9 Earle Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1849-50, this 1-1/2 story wood frame cottage is Worcester's finest surviving example of Carpenter Gothic styling. It has a steeply pitched gable roof with original bargeboard in the eaves, a bracketed hood over its front entry, and a side porch with elaborate woodwork trim and chamfered posts. The windows have decorative hood molding. Later in the 19th centurym Queen Anne style scale shingle treatment was added to its gables.[2]
