It retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. It also reflects Ipswich's late nineteenth-century development as the home and office of a prominent local physician. Its hilltop site above the commercial center makes it especially prominent.","narrative":"Dr. Bailey's house at 40 Market Street in Ipswich is a two-story wood-shingled residence dating from about 1900, built between the publication of an 1893 bird's-eye map and a 1910 county atlas. It served as both the home and office of a prominent local physician, and its position on a hilltop overlooking the town's commercial center made it accessible to residents. The house is rectangular in plan with a gable roof pierced by dormers, and a one-story verandah wraps its north and west sides. A central polygonal bay dominates the facade and rises through the roof. Diamond-pane and single-pane sash reflect Queen Anne fashion, while the porch carries Colonial Revival details: carved floral decoration in the pediment, dentils at the cornice and Tuscan columns. The nomination describes it as the best example of this blended style in central Ipswich and notes that it retains its original location, design, setting, materials and workmanship.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present use is residential; the form lists a private individual owner and a garage outbuilding.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:53.525806-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/6/7901/63790106/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/80000457.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000457/27f3547b6e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000457/27f3547b6e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IpswichMA_BaileyHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Magicpiano</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IpswichMA_BaileyHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790106","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_House_(Ipswich,_Massachusetts)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4848364"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/essex-county/bailey-house-80000457/"}
