It is also an example of architectural evolution over several centuries, with Georgian details most notable. It is said to meet Criteria A, B and C.","narrative":"Osgood Farm, at 116 Osgood Street in Andover, is a two-story clapboard house traditionally dated to about 1700, linked to the 1699 marriage of Stephen Osgood and Hannah Blanchard, which joined two prominent West Andover families. It began as a four-room house around a central chimney. Isaac Osgood, a captain in the French and Indian War, is thought to have added the eastern section and the northeast wing. Later features include hipped and gable roofs, an asymmetrical four-bay facade, prominent window cornices uncommon in Andover, and a pedimented doorway. Jacob Osgood, a respected farmer, served in the Revolutionary War and hosted the patriot lawyer James Otis, who recovered from a head injury at the farm and was killed there by lightning in 1783. The Osgoods lived in the house until 1849. Wadley Noyes later kept an inn and tavern there from 1853 to 1863. The house was listed for its role in western Andover's development, the Otis connection, and its layered Georgian-era architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; it served as a tavern from 1853 to 1863.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.692394-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/15/7899/63789915/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/82004806.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82004806/3cfbf9bae8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82004806/3cfbf9bae8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AndoverMA_OsgoodFarm.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:AndoverMA_OsgoodFarm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789915","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7106539"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/essex-county/osgood-farm-82004806/"}
