Hayward, with an original stable and a granite retaining wall on the property.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an outstanding local example of mid-Victorian Italianate architecture, noting the house, stable and granite wall. It is also tied to William E. Hayward, a local banker and wool manufacturer who became president of the Blackstone National Bank. The form says the house keeps integrity from two periods of its development and meets criteria A, B and C.","narrative":"Built around 1874-1879 at 77 North Main Street in Uxbridge, this Italianate house was the home of William E. Hayward, a local banker and textile manufacturer. It is a 2½-story wood-frame building on a granite foundation, with a symmetrical facade centered on a gabled pavilion that holds paneled doors in an arched surround. An Ionic porch with lattice railings was probably rebuilt around 1900. Other details include bay windows, bracketed window caps, a boxed cornice and pilastered brick chimneys. Behind the house stands the original stable, re-sided in the early twentieth century, and a dressed granite retaining wall with square posts and two original gates runs along the street. Hayward worked as a bank clerk, made satinets and other woolens as a mill partner, and later served as president of the Blackstone National Bank from 1893. The house was listed for its architecture, its association with Hayward, and the integrity it keeps from two periods of development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Used as a private residence; the original stable survives, and the fence once set in the wall posts has been removed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.529492-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/7935/63793513/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83004122.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004122/e6efeb614d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004122/e6efeb614d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:77_North_Main_Street,_Uxbridge_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</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:77_North_Main_Street,_Uxbridge_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63793513","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hayward_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8011786"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/hayward-william-house-83004122/"}
