Stacy.","why_significant":"The house is presented as one of the finest surviving works tied to George Odiorne Stacy, a Gloucester real estate developer, hotel owner and park commissioner. It is also described as one of the most refined examples of the Colonial Revival style in the city and was among the first houses in the Bass Rocks resort development. The form cites Criteria A, B and C.","narrative":"Built in 1899 on Atlantic Road, facing the ocean at Bass Rocks on Gloucester's Eastern Point, this nearly cubical 2½-story clapboard house has a balustraded hip roof and a rigidly symmetrical facade. A Doric-columned portico and Palladian window mark the center, and fluted Ionic corner pilasters and a detailed entablature wrap the building. Phillips & Holloran, the Gloucester architects behind many of the city's prominent buildings, designed it for George Odiorne Stacy. Stacy rose from hotel kitchen employee to owner of four well-known North Shore hotels, developed real estate, and promoted the Western Avenue esplanade, later named Stacy Boulevard. He served as a Park Commissioner from 1908 until his death in 1928. The house was among the first in the Bass Rocks resort development and is considered one of the city's most refined Colonial Revival designs. Its color and form earned it the name Wedding Cake House. The Stacys never lived there, and it is now used as offices for a neighboring inn.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Phillips & Holloran","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival (most classical in form)","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, in excellent condition and unaltered on its original site; used as offices for a neighboring modern inn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.659432-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/7949/63794920/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/82004963.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82004963/d014b3d329-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82004963/d014b3d329-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GloucesterMA_GeorgeOStacyHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Magicpiano</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:GloucesterMA_GeorgeOStacyHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63794920","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_O._Stacy_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5542990"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/essex-county/stacy-george-o-house-82004963/"}
