It stands on land granted to Mayflower Compact signer Richard Warren in 1627. James Warren and Mercy Otis Warren, prominent figures of the Revolutionary era, lived here. Archeological investigation may yield more information, since a hearthstone and former foundation have already been found.","narrative":"Overlooking Eel River Pond south of Plymouth Center, this one and one half story wood frame house was built about 1695. It has a fieldstone foundation, clapboarded facade, large central chimney and a low pitched gambrel roof. Later changes include an early-to-mid nineteenth century entrance treatment, shed dormers, a late nineteenth century kitchen and a 1957 living room replacing an early shed. The house sits on 1.39 acres, what remains of a four hundred acre tract granted in 1627 to Richard Warren, a Plymouth Colony settler and Mayflower Compact signer. It is believed to have replaced two smaller dwellings. James Warren, a Revolutionary-era legislator, Speaker of the Massachusetts House and Continental Army paymaster, was among its notable occupants, along with his wife Mercy Otis Warren, a playwright, poet and historian. The house is valued as an example of early wood frame construction, as a reminder of Plymouth's agricultural past, and for archeological potential.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence in excellent condition, on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:54.752659-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/73/7964/63796473/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/80000666.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000666/c30259ffdf-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000666/c30259ffdf-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PlymouthMA_CliffordWarrenHouse.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:PlymouthMA_CliffordWarrenHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63796473","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford%E2%80%93Warren_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5132846"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/plymouth-county/clifford-warren-house-80000666/"}
