The living room and library murals show late Victorian, Arts and Crafts and Vienna Secession influences. The house also reflects changes in use over time, including conversion to rooming house use in the mid-20th century.","narrative":"Built in 1901 at the corner of Cedar and Linden Streets in Worcester's Lincoln Estate-Elm Park neighborhood, this two-story, three-bay Colonial Revival house has a granite foundation, shingled walls and a high, curved hip roof with dormers. A wraparound porch with Tuscan columns and a front door framed by fluted Ionic pilasters mark the exterior. Inside, the center-hall plan survives largely intact. Oak and painted woodwork, parquet-bordered floors, window seats and a carved living room fireplace give the main rooms their character. The most distinctive feature is the hand-painted decoration: a rose-bower mural in the living room, cloud designs inspired by the Vienna Secession in the library, and stenciling found beneath the hall ceiling. Several original turn-of-the-century bathrooms also remain. Later changes include a columned library embrasure, probably added in the 1920s, and alterations from the 1940s when rooms were rented. The artist of the murals is unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Historic use as a single dwelling and rooming house; current use is commerce/trade (business/professional).","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:03.539235-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/6/7972/63797206/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/02001471.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001471/e4d026e368-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001471/e4d026e368-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Pvmoutside","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frank_and_Mabel_Dean_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pvmoutside</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frank_and_Mabel_Dean_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63797206","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_L._and_Mabel_H._Dean_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715476"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/dean-frank-l-and-mabel-h-house-02001471/"}
