It is also described as a fine and highly unusual example of Greek Revival style for the area, retaining its original cornice, sidelit door, pilastered cornerboards and fluted Doric porch columns.","narrative":"This Greek Revival house at 155 Reservoir Road in Brookline was built between 1830 and 1844. It originally stood at the corner of Boylston Street, and was moved to its present site in 1920 by Carroll C. O'Neill. It has a low-pitched gable roof, an elaborate cornice, a closed pediment, pedimented window heads, six-over-six windows and a front door with sidelights. Its gable end faces the street, and the entry porch is carried on fluted Doric columns. Although covered in asbestos shingles, much original detailing remains. Early ownership is traced to Daniel Pierce's land and then to the Warren brothers, Simon and John W., who were farmers. The house was listed for its link to the neighborhood's 19th-century agricultural character and as a highly unusual local example of the Greek Revival style. A partial enclosure of the piazza for a bathroom in 1950 is the main recorded alteration.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently in residential use; asbestos shingle siding; the piazza was partially enclosed for a bathroom in 1950.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.246199-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/25/7924/63792425/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/85003282.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85003282/fb7fc3e708-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85003282/fb7fc3e708-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_155_Reservoir,_Brookline_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_155_Reservoir,_Brookline_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63792425","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_155_Reservoir_Road","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715568"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/norfolk-county/house-at-155-reservoir-85003282/"}
