Langmaid Terrace is a historic apartment complex at 359—365 Broadway in the Winter Hill neighborhood of Somerville, Massachusetts. The architecturally eclectic brick building was built in 1891 by the heirs of Samuel P. Langmaid, a local landowner. The Langmaid family was also responsible for the Langmaid Building on Highland Avenue. The architect was J. Pickering Putnam of Boston.[2] The building is Queen Anne in inspiration with multiple roof lines, gables, and towers of varying heights and styles. Dormers project from the mansard roof, faced with stepped brick.[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]

Since 2009, the end unit at 365 Broadway has received notice[4] as the residence of Barack Obama from 1988 to 1991 while he attended Harvard Law School.[5]

In 2021, a granite marker commemorating Obama's residency was placed in the front garden area, deemed the President Obama Rose Garden At Winter Hill, MA.
