It is described as retaining integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. It is cited under criterion A.","narrative":"Built around 1810, this modest house at 6 South Marble Street in Stoneham is a five-bay, one-room-deep, two-story dwelling with clapboard siding, cornerboards and fascia moldings. It rests on an uncoursed granite foundation under a pitched roof. The center entry and windows are simply framed, with 2/2 and 6/6 sash, and a twentieth-century porch shelters the door. The house is considered Stoneham's only intact example of an early nineteenth-century artisan's or worker's home. It stands on a street that once served as the main route from the town center to the Marble Quarry, and it likely housed a quarry worker. It is the only surviving fragment of the town's early marble quarrying industry. South Marble Street remains unimproved, which preserves the character of the early routes. The house retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship, and it was listed for its association with local historical patterns under criterion A.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; the only major alteration noted is a twentieth-century entry porch.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.868779-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/0/7921/63792100/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/84002690.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002690/583b9d2c4e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002690/583b9d2c4e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StonehamMA_HouseAt6SouthMarbleStreet.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_HouseAt6SouthMarbleStreet.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63792100","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_6_S._Marble_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914450"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/house-at-6-s-marble-street-84002690/"}
