The six houses were chosen because they form a visually intact grouping with preserved design integrity, unlike many streets altered by vinyl siding and demolition. Ownership, cost, dates and carpenter were also well documented.","narrative":"Six triple-decker houses on Albion Street in Fall River, built in 1916, illustrate the housing form that became standard in the city during the early twentieth century. Each is three stories tall, with three-story front and side bays topped by a full pediment and three-story front porches with paired panelled posts and balustrades. The houses were built in pairs, with one set back on the lot. Local carpenter Athanase Dussault built them for David Boguslavsky, a peddler, and building permits record costs of about $4,100 to $4,350 per house. They stand a few blocks from the Stafford Mills, in a period when the mills were building fewer tenements and private housing was needed. Fall River has one of the largest concentrations of triple deckers in New England, but vinyl siding and demolition have broken up many streets of them. This group was selected because it remains visually intact and its design is well preserved.","period_of_significance":"1916","architect_builder":"Athanase Dussault, carpenter (builder); built for David Boguslavsky","architectural_style":"Triple Decker","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.892482-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/3/7896/63789603/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000628.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000628/056bec97cb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000628/056bec97cb-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Marcbela (Marc N.
