It sits next to an identical cottage.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the building as an architectural example: a Gothic cottage that is basically Greek Revival in form. It stands with its gable end to the street and has a Doric side porch. The form checks only the architectural theme and gives little further context.","narrative":"A small clapboard cottage at 104-106 Hancock Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dates to 1839 and was built for Isaac Livermore as a residence. It has remained residential since. The architect is not known. The building is described as a Gothic cottage that is basically Greek Revival in form. It stands with its gable end facing the street, about 15 feet back from the roadway on a lot roughly 50 feet wide, and it has a Doric side porch, which has been enclosed. An addition of unknown date has altered the original structure. It is one of a pair, set beside an identical Gothic cottage with the same form and porch treatment. The Cambridge Historical Commission recorded the building in 1966, and the listing rests on its architectural character: a modest house that blends Gothic cottage detailing with Greek Revival massing and classical porch columns.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (described as a Gothic cottage with Greek Revival form)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present use is residential, the same as its original use.
