The Corbett Residence is a brick Italianate residence in Saint John. With its sandstone bands, pillared veranda, and flat roof with wide overhanging cornice, dentils, and fascia band, the residence provides a good example of how the Italianate style was widely used in the late 18th/early 19th century era of the city.

In the the first half of the 20th century, the building had a number of different owners, with three notable ones: founder of Wasson's Drugs, Charles Wasson, who lived here from 1918 to 1922, principal at the Saint John Vocational School Fletcher Peacock, who lived here from 1926 to 1932, and lastly founder and president of R. A. Corbett & Co. Ltd, Robert A. Corbett, who occupied the house from 1932 until his death in 1947
