The two-story clapboard house has a hip roof, side chimneys, an asymmetrical four-bay facade, narrow 6/9 windows, a one-story side ell and a barn nearby. Two doorways with classical trim and fanlights are its most outstanding features. Flint's 100-acre homestead was part of a larger estate, and it passed to his son Alanson, who kept it as a working farm. Alanson's widow and children inherited it, and the children sold the land out of the family shortly after their mother's death in 1894. The property was listed for two reasons: its link to the development of western Andover, and its value as a distinctive example of vernacular Federal architecture. The house is described as an ambitious rural home with attenuated proportions, though its overall composition is somewhat awkwardly balanced. It remains residential.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; the house is described as altered, and the property includes a barn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.633127-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/9/7899/63789909/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/82004825.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82004825/c6eb9ac433-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82004825/c6eb9ac433-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AndoverMA_FlintFarm.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_FlintFarm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789909","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5459498"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/essex-county/flint-farm-82004825/"}
