It keeps the five-bay, center-entry facade of earlier house forms, while its height and twin chimneys show its later date. It is held to retain integrity and to meet criterion C.","narrative":"This Greek Revival cottage at 342 William Street in Stoneham dates to about 1830-40. It was built for the daughter of Micah Williams, who owned land along William Street in the mid and late nineteenth century, and it faces the Williams family homestead across the road. The house keeps the older five-bay, center-entry facade rather than turning its gable end to the street. Its greater height, which places the windows in the center, and its twin chimneys point to the later date. Clapboards cover the walls, with narrow cornerboards and a wider frieze and water table, and the house sits on a granite foundation. The entry has three-quarter-length sidelights and an early twentieth century open hipped-roof porch. A one-story ell extends from the rear. The house stands on a hill behind a granite retaining wall. It was listed as an excellent, well-preserved example of a traditional Greek Revival cottage from Stoneham's early industrial period.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential, the same as its original use; the form notes an early twentieth century entry porch as a major alteration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.563018-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/70/7908/63790870/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/84002851.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002851/d75245382e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84002851/d75245382e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StonehamMA_MicahWilliamsHouse.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_MicahWilliamsHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790870","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micah_Williams_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6827910"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/williams-micah-house-84002851/"}
