It was built for an early local industrialist and forms a visual group with the neighboring John Mace Smith House. The form cites Criteria A and C.","narrative":"Built in 1844 at 373 North Main Street in Fall River, this Greek Revival house was the residence of William Lindsey, a businessman who rose from a grocer's apprentice to head a wholesale firm and later served as treasurer of the Weetamoe Mills, a bank director and president of the Fall River Savings Bank. The house is a temple-fronted design with a pedimented, four-column portico, a two-story recessed entry with fluted Corinthian columns, and an iron-railed balcony above the door. Its forms resemble work by Rhode Island architect Russell Warren, though no documents confirm his role. It is one of seven monumental temple-fronted Greek Revival houses remaining in Fall River. Beside the smaller John Mace Smith House, it forms a strong visual group near the downtown business district. Aluminum siding covers the exterior, but the house is otherwise largely intact, with some ironwork and window caps lost. It now houses law offices.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Russell Warren (attribution questioned; no documents confirm his involvement)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is law offices; the house is described as virtually intact despite aluminum siding, with some ironwork missing and window caps removed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.799922-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/51/7894/63789451/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000690.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000690/0986282328-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000690/0986282328-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Marcbela (Marc N.
