It cites typical Builder's Queen Anne details and states that the house retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship and association.","narrative":"Built around 1888 for a George Capron, this house at 6 North Pleasant Street in Taunton is a clapboard-and-shingle example of Builder's Queen Anne design. It has an irregular plan with a gabled bay on the south side, a one-story projection on the north and a rear ell. A steep hipped roof is broken by a central shingled wall dormer. The front porch has turned posts, a spindled balustrade and a pediment over the side bay entrance, which is inset with a sunburst motif. Windows are regular two-over-two sash. The house and its period carriage barn still sit behind the original granite curbing and posts. It was listed because it shows the kind of comfortable housing built for middle-class families in Taunton during the late 19th century, when many residential neighborhoods were filling in. The form describes it as exceptionally well preserved, with no alterations, and credits it with architectural and historical value.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Builder's Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Listed as a residence; the form gives the present use as residence and reports no alterations and no move.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:56.520694-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/53/7893/63789353/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/84002099.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002099/bf1446b1f2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002099/bf1446b1f2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Capron_House,_Taunton_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:George_Capron_House,_Taunton_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789353","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Capron_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5537670"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/bristol-county/capron-george-house-84002099/"}
