It is associated with Stoneham's major theme and period and meets criterion A. It was owned at mid-century by C.H. Brown, a partner in the Tidd tannery.","narrative":"This small clapboard house at 34 Wright Street in Stoneham was built around 1840 as a workers' dwelling. It faces the street with a two-bay gable end and has cornerboards treated as pilasters, wide fascia boards, and a raking cornice with gable returns. Windows are simply framed with 2/2 sash. The entry is more elaborate than the house's size would suggest, with full-length sidelights and a full entablature. The house has not been moved, has no recorded major alterations, and remains residential. It was listed as a well preserved and unusually well detailed example of a modest shoe worker's house, tied to Stoneham's main theme and period of development. In the mid-nineteenth century it was owned by C.H. Brown, a partner in the Tidd tannery, who lived in a larger mansion at the corner of Chestnut and Maple Streets. A later letter from the owner mentions differing local dates for construction, ranging from about 1815 to 1820.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; the form reports no major alterations, no outbuildings, and that the house has not been moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.532643-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/36/7921/63792136/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/84002525.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002525/b6f720247d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002525/b6f720247d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StonehamMA_CHBrownCottage.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Magicpiano</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StonehamMA_CHBrownCottage.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63792136","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H._Brown_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5006109"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/brown-c-h-cottage-84002525/"}
