It may have been designed by Russell Warren or copied by Hathaway from his designs. It meets Criteria A and C.","narrative":"This Greek Revival house at the corner of Pine and Purchase Streets in Fall River was built around 1843 by James D. Hathaway, a carpenter who was also its first owner and used it as his residence. It has a temple front with a monumental Ionic tetrastyle portico, a pediment with a detailed flat and raking cornice, flush-boarded walls and paneled corner boards. The design may be the work of Russell Warren, or Hathaway may have copied it from Warren's designs. The house is one of about seven temple-fronted Greek Revival houses built by early mill-owners and prosperous merchants after the 1843 fire in downtown Fall River. It sits in the Purchase Street neighborhood near downtown, an area that was fashionable from the 1840s to the 1860s before large-scale development began in the Highlands. Mostly intact, it is valued as a local example of the style and was listed for its association with the city's development and for its architecture. It is currently used as offices.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"James D. Hathaway, carpenter (builder); Russell Warren?
