It is a one-room-deep, clapboard-sheathed house on a brick foundation.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a well-preserved example of the smallest type of workers' cottage in Stoneham, retaining integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. It is associated with Stoneham's Irish population, since Tremont Street was home to Irish shoemakers, including Patrick Cogan, who later owned a large shoe factory. It is cited under criterion A.","narrative":"Built around 1860, this small cottage on Tremont Street in Stoneham is a plain, one-room-deep dwelling under a pitched roof. It rests on a brick foundation, is covered in clapboards, and has simple window surrounds holding original six-over-six sash. Its only notable stylistic reference is the modified Greek Revival, off-center entry. The house is described as the smallest type of workers' cottage found in the town, and its exterior finishes and details have not been altered. Tremont Street was home to a group of Irish shoemakers, among them Patrick Cogan, who eventually became proprietor of a large shoe factory. His own house, across the street, has been altered. An 1894 street list shows that nearly all of the homes at numbers 1 through 24 belonged to Irish shoemakers. Many of those houses survive but have been changed and are now separated by later infill. This cottage was listed for its good preservation and its link to Stoneham's Irish community.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular cottage with modified Greek Revival entry","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; the form reports no major alterations and no outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.815767-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/68/7922/63792268/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/84002671.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002671/7afecf31b0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002671/7afecf31b0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StonehamMA_19TremontStreet.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_19TremontStreet.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63792268","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_19_Tremont_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914058"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/house-at-19-tremont-street-84002671/"}
