The only theme checked is architecture.","narrative":"Built in 1839 for Isaac Livermore, this small clapboard house at 110 Hancock Street in Cambridge combines Gothic cottage details with Greek Revival form. It is one of two adjacent twin Gothic cottages. The house stands with its gable end facing the street, and a side porch is included under the gable, supported by Doric columns; the porch has since been enclosed. Its most noticeable decoration is the cut bargeboards in the end gable and the dormers, which survive in abundance. The lot is modest, with about 50 feet of frontage, and the house sits roughly 15 feet back from the street. A local historical commission survey recorded it in 1966 and found it neither altered nor moved since construction. It has been used as a residence from the start. The property was listed for its architectural character, as a well-preserved example of a modest cottage mixing two styles.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (small Gothic cottage with Greek Revival forms)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Residential use; the form reports the building as unaltered and not moved, with the side porch enclosed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.264025-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/52/7904/63790452/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000781.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000781/c8065a068b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000781/c8065a068b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Daderot","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ephraim_Atwood_House_-_110_Hancock_Street,_Cambridge,_MA_-_IMG_4101.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Daderot</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ephraim_Atwood_House_-_110_Hancock_Street,_Cambridge,_MA_-_IMG_4101.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790452","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephraim_Atwood_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5382238"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/atwood-ephraim-house-83000781/"}
