The Wychwood Gatehouse, located at East Broad Street and Wychwood Road, was reportedly on fire Friday evening.
Residents told Patch on Facebook and Twitter that the structure was in flames at approximately 8 p.m.
The Westfield Fire Department did not immediately respond for comment.
The home was vacant at the time and firefighters were able to extinguish the fire, The Alternative Press reported.
The Wychwood South Gatehouse was noted in Westfield's Historic Plan as one of the town's "outstanding structures." The plan refers to the home, as well as the smaller gatehouse across the street, as "whimsical interpretations of medieval fairy tale houses."
