Russell and used as housing since.","why_significant":"It is part of a series of Greek Revival houses built on Inman Street in 1845 that keep strictly to classical Greek Revival forms. The double house is essentially intact and is described as an important expression of the style in a form not found elsewhere in Cambridge. It was found to meet criterion C as an important example of its type and style.","narrative":"Built in 1845 on Inman Street in Cambridge, this wood-frame double house was commissioned by J.D. Russell and has remained residential throughout its history. William Ricker and David Chandler are named as architect and builder. The building has four-bay facades with full pilasters and a paired Italianate porch. It belongs to a series of Greek Revival houses erected on the street in the same year. Slight differences in handling give variety among these closely related buildings, yet none departs from Greek Revival forms, unlike more pretentious houses of the period. The double house is essentially intact, with no recorded alterations or moves. It is regarded as an important expression of the Greek Revival in a form not found elsewhere in Cambridge, which is the basis for its recognition as an important example of its type and style. A c.1925 concrete block garage at the rear is not counted as contributing, and a neighboring building at 104A sits on a separate lot.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William Ricker/David Chandler","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use residential; essentially intact, unaltered and unmoved.
