It is still used as a dwelling.","why_significant":"The house is a fine example of the Greek Revival style, with full-length windows, a pedimented front gable and a wraparound colonnaded porch. It forms a distinguished ensemble with its stylistic twin at 13 Winter Street, the open land between them and old trees. It also reflects Arlington's early suburban development after train service began in 1846.","narrative":"Located at 19 Winter Street in Arlington, this mid-19th century house was originally owned by the Robinson family and remains a dwelling today. Its Greek Revival character is evident in full-length windows, a pedimented front gable and a colonnaded porch that wraps around two sides. Aluminum siding covers the exterior, but the form still reads clearly as a fine example of the style. The house has a near-identical neighbor at 13 Winter Street, the W.W. Kimball House. Together with the open land between them and mature pear, copper beech and silver maple trees, the two form a distinguished ensemble. Both were probably built on speculation. Regular train service from Boston through Arlington began in 1846, and development along Massachusetts Avenue increased afterward. The house was listed for its link to Arlington's early suburban growth and for its architecture, and it retains integrity of location, design, setting, workmanship, feeling and association.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is a dwelling; it has aluminum siding, no outbuildings, no major alterations recorded, and 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 02:11:57.567345-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/7917/63791720/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/85001044.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001044/c89bcddfa8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001044/c89bcddfa8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ArlingtonMA_RobinsonHouse.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:ArlingtonMA_RobinsonHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791720","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_House_(Arlington,_Massachusetts)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7353030"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/robinson-house-85001044/"}
