The original owner and the architect are unknown.","why_significant":"The form argues the house is a well-crafted, largely intact example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture in Fall River. Its five-bay side-gable plan continues an 18th-century tradition rather than the newer temple-front form. It also has unusual attic frieze windows with iron grates that appear to be original. It contrasts with the architect-designed mansions of the city elite and meets Criterion C.","narrative":"Built around 1850 on Quarry Street in Fall River, this one-and-a-half-story clapboard cottage is a modest example of mid-19th-century vernacular Greek Revival design. It has a five-bay, side-gable plan with ells, a center chimney, four-over-four sash windows and a center door with an entablature and sidelights. Attic frieze windows are fitted with iron grates, an unusual detail that appears to be original. The same simple pilaster capitals appear on the door entablature, corner boards and side porch posts. A white picket fence with early carved granite posts encloses the small lot. The original owner is unknown; by 1871 a grocer who owned other property nearby held the house, and the date rests on stylistic evaluation. The house was listed because it is a largely intact, well-crafted cottage that contrasts with the formal, architect-designed Greek Revival mansions built for the city's elite. It remains in residential use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; the form describes the house as in pristine condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.126056-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/73/7893/63789373/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000683.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000683/310e3d61c4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000683/310e3d61c4-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Marcbela","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_108_Quarry_St.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcbela</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_108_Quarry_St.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789373","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_108%E2%80%93112_Quarry_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715564"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/bristol-county/house-at-108-112-quarry-street-83000683/"}
