Bradbury. The architect is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a rare Cambridge example of a pretentious single-family house in the paneled brick style used extensively in the Back Bay. Its flat, incised decoration and patterned brickwork foreshadow Queen Anne motifs. It is also one of only ten surviving single-family residences on Harvard Street, and is tied to the development of Harvard Street and Dana Hill.","narrative":"Built in 1877 at 369 Harvard Street in Cambridge, this brick Mansard house sits on a terrace above the street. A steep, straight-edged Mansard roof with gabled dormers caps a block-like mass, and a center pavilion with an elaborate entrance porch forms the focal point. The porch has a flat roof and clustered columns. A one-story polygonal bay is offset on the facade, and a full-height polygonal bay is centered on the side. Its original owner, William F. Bradbury, was Hopkins Master and later Head Master of the Cambridge Latin School. The house was listed as a rare Cambridge example of a grand single-family home in the paneled brick style common in the Back Bay, with flat incised ornament and patterned brickwork that anticipate Queen Anne design. It is also one of only ten surviving single-family houses on Harvard Street, once lined with substantial homes on raised sites, and reflects the area's growth after 1873.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mansard (Second Empire)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential, the same as its original use.
