It sits on roughly three acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the house is a good local example of late Federalist architecture, probably built near the end of the style's popularity. It keeps its original design and has integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. It also reflects the local adoption of masonry for high-quality Federalist houses.","narrative":"Built around 1830-1840 on Aldrich Street in Uxbridge, this two-storey brick house is a local example of late Federalist design. It has interior end-wall chimneys, a hammered granite foundation, and brick laid in stretcher bond, with tie-rod plates visible at attic-floor level. The south facade is symmetrical around a center entry, and the windows have brick surrounds with granite sills and lintels. The house is built into a hillside, so the second storey is at ground level on the north side. Later changes include two-over-two sash, a replaced doorway, a one-storey west ell and an aluminum-covered cornice, all from the 1970s. The property is first recorded under S. Aldrich in 1855, and it later passed to E. Haywood. It resembles the nearby J. Aldrich House and Daniel Aldrich Cottage. It was listed for its architecture and for retaining its original design and setting.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Federalist","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a residence; a recent one-storey wood-frame ell was added at the west end in the 1970s.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.06129-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/7931/63793113/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83004104.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004104/85d8643055-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004104/85d8643055-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Ksherin","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seth_Aldrich_House,_Uxbridge,_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ksherin</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seth_Aldrich_House,_Uxbridge,_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63793113","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Aldrich_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715846"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/aldrich-s-house-83004104/"}
