It is also among the best surviving free-standing Victorian houses built along Main Street South by Worcester industrialists in the late nineteenth century.","narrative":"Built in 1885 at 768 Main Street in Worcester, this brick house was designed by the prominent local firm Fuller and Delano for Moody Shattuck, a cigar manufacturer, at a cost of $12,000. Its asymmetrical two-and-one-half storey facade is notable for moulded brick, sandstone quoining, a broken scroll pediment, a terracotta panel bearing a shield inscribed \"S\", pilastered chimneys and high-gabled dormers. A one-storey wooden porch with paired columns marks the entrance. The design reflects close knowledge of English Queen Anne architecture, unlike many local houses of the period, which were shingle-covered frame interpretations. Shattuck, a Vermont native who arrived in Worcester in 1858, built his firm into what was reputedly the largest of its type in New England. Apart from the loss of its carriage house, the building is unaltered. Now used for administrative offices, it still looks like a single-family house and ranks among the best Victorian mansions built along Main Street South by the city's industrialists.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Fuller & Delano","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as administrative offices; the original carriage house was demolished, but the house is otherwise described as unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:54.139652-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/43/7929/63792943/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/80000626.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000626/26f6c0ad0b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000626/26f6c0ad0b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Pvmoutside","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moody_Shattuck_House_Worcester_MA.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:Moody_Shattuck_House_Worcester_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63792943","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_Shattuck_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6907239"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/shattuck-moody-house-80000626/"}
