It is also tied to Abiel Codding Jr., a leading jewelry manufacturer, and later to nearly a century of tenant farming under Codding descendants.","narrative":"Codding Farm occupies the north side of High Street about half a mile west of North Attleborough center. The nominated core covers about 3.78 acres of a historic farm that once ran roughly 58 acres north to West Street. It includes a 1½-story, center-chimney Cape Cod farmhouse dating to about 1833, flanked by two one-story ells and an attached shed, along with an equipment shed, a side-gabled barn, fieldstone walls and two hay fields. The linked buildings form a nearly symmetrical variant of the connected farmstead type, and the trim shows early Greek Revival detailing. Abiel Codding Jr., a jewelry manufacturer who bought the farm for his parents, rose to a leading position in the town's jewelry industry, and the property stayed in family hands afterward. From 1881 it was worked by tenants for nearly a century. A railroad corridor and cattle pass cross its eastern edge, and the farm remains one of the largest open parcels near the town center.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Federal/Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed historic functions include agriculture and single dwelling; current functions are listed as agricultural fields, recreation, vacant (buildings) and work in progress.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:03.855339-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/84/7943/63794384/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/09000236.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000236/a36a17edfb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000236/a36a17edfb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Codding_Farm,_North_Attleborough_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Codding_Farm,_North_Attleborough_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63794384","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Codding_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16901521"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/bristol-county/codding-farm-the-09000236/"}
