It was designed by Wilson Eyre, Jr. and built in 1890 by John Neill of the Pemberton Company, Real Estate.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an early local example of the Medieval Revival style and that it occupies a commanding position in the streetscape. It is also presented as an excellent example of the work of Wilson Eyre, Jr., one of Philadelphia's major turn-of-the-century architects. Its massive, asymmetrical massing and varied fenestration are cited as key features.","narrative":"Built in 1890 at the southeast corner of Cypress and South 22nd Streets in Philadelphia, this four-story brick double house was designed by Wilson Eyre, Jr. and constructed by John Neill of the Pemberton Company, Real Estate. Its massing is asymmetrical and heavy, with a gambrel roof, slate covering, terra cotta ridge caps, and brownstone trim around the twin entries. Bay windows of differing size sit on each front side, and the brickwork includes alternating stringer and header courses. The house is regarded as an early local example of the Medieval Revival style and as a strong example of Eyre's work. It is also valued for its commanding presence in the surrounding streetscape. The original owners, including Neill and Mauran, a partner in the Pemberton Company, do not appear to have lived in either half, suggesting a speculative venture. The interiors were later altered into apartments and an office.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Wilson Eyre, Jr. (architect); John Neill, of Pemberton Company, Real Estate (builder)","architectural_style":"Medieval Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.00947-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003614.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003614/a5b2397ba5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003614/a5b2397ba5-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Neill-Mauran_House_Philly.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Neill-Mauran_House_Philly.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996986","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neill-Mauran_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6989550"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/neill-mauran-house-80003614/"}
