It meets criterion C for its architecture. It also reflects the continued presence of the early Baker family in southern Rehoboth at a time when little new construction was occurring.","narrative":"Built around 1890 on Hornbine Road in rural Rehoboth, this 1½-story cottage was erected by a member of the Baker family, an early and prominent family in the southern part of town. It is a Victorian bracketed cottage with Italianate detailing, set about 50 feet from the road with its gable flank facing the street. The main block and the side ell each have a central peaked gable, holding double and single round-headed windows respectively. Bracketed eaves, a bracketed door hood and the original entrance door add to its character. Inside, the floor plan is intact and only minor cosmetic changes have been made. Local surveyors considered it the best-preserved example in Rehoboth of this more elaborate version of the common 19th-century cottage type, and it stands out among comparable houses of its period. Its construction also shows how long first-settlement families remained in the town, since little new building was happening at the time.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Built by a member of the Baker family (architect not named)","architectural_style":"Victorian bracketed cottage with Italianate features","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a private residence; interior floor plan intact with only minor cosmetic alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.641478-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/99/7895/63789599/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000681.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000681/05d39fa3f7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000681/05d39fa3f7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RehobothMA_197HornbineRoad.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_197HornbineRoad.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789599","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_197_Hornbine_Road","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914042"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/bristol-county/house-at-197-hornbine-road-83000681/"}
