It is a late Italianate, 1½-story cottage-form building with clapboard walls.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is the only known example of its type and period in Rehoboth, where multi-family dwellings are uncommon. It represents the shift of the two-family house from the vertical arrangement of the Federal period to a horizontal cottage configuration in the late 19th century. It is also described as a modest house reflecting Rehoboth's late 19th century economy.","narrative":"Built between about 1875 and 1890 at 191 Hornbine Road in rural Rehoboth, this clapboard duplex was erected by the Baker family, descendants of early settlers in the southern part of town. Tradition holds that twin brothers John and James Baker built it and lived in it. From the front it resembles a typical late 19th century 1½-story cottage, but it has a side ell at each end, a central entrance flanked by projecting bay windows, a straight roof line and plain eaves. Later changes include an enclosed porch and two small rear ells added in the 1930s. Its significance lies in its type. Multi-family houses are uncommon in Rehoboth, and this is the only known example of its type and period. It shows how the two-family house changed from the vertical arrangement of the Federal period to a horizontal cottage layout in the late 19th century, while also reflecting the town's modest economy at that time.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; traditionally said to have been built by twin brothers John and James Baker","architectural_style":"Late Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is the same as the original use, a two-family residence; the barn is a 19th-century outbuilding.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.331424-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/89/7895/63789589/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000622.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000622/0255272cd2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000622/0255272cd2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RehobothMA_BakerHouse.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:RehobothMA_BakerHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789589","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_House_(Rehoboth,_Massachusetts)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4849159"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/bristol-county/baker-house-83000622/"}
