The Nichols-Sterner House is a historic house at 428 Swamp Road in Richmond, Massachusetts. It is one only two brick houses in a Federalist-Greek Revival transition in Richmond. It was built in 1820 and occupied for over 100 years by the local Nichols family. In 1925 the house was sold to Flora Lash Sterner, wife of artist Albert Sterner. The Sterners used the house as a summer residence until Albert's death in 1946. Mrs. Sterner did not use the house thereafter, and it suffered from the neglect. She sold the house in 1981, and the new owners undertook steps to restore the property.[2]

The house, and 2.2 acres (0.89 ha) that remain of the Nichols property, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
