The architect is unknown.","why_significant":"Little is known about the house's history, so its significance rests mainly on its architecture. It is a well-preserved local example of a sidehall Greek Revival cottage with a side wing. The form also notes the Chase family as early settlers of Hyannis Port who owned the house until 1911.","narrative":"Built around the 1820s, this sidehall cottage at 340 Scudder Avenue in Hyannis Port is a well-preserved example of Greek Revival design. The main block rises 1 3/4 stories and a side wing adds a 1 1/2 story section. Wood shingles cover the walls, and cornerboards carry a wide fascia with dentils. The main entry is framed by sidelights and pilasters supporting an entablature, and the wing entry is detailed the same way without sidelights. Windows are simply framed with 6/6 sash. The house has had no major alterations and has not been moved. Deed research shows the Chase family were among the original settlers of Hyannis Port and once owned a large farm in this northern part of the village. Lemuel B. Chase owned the house in the 1850s and may have been its first owner, and the family kept it with additional land until 1911. Because little else is known of its history, its importance lies chiefly in its architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed in good condition, used as a residence, with 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 02:13:02.271575-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/65/7890/63789065/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/87000267.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000267/0b2500ddb2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000267/0b2500ddb2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lemuel_B._Chase_House,_Barnstable_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lemuel_B._Chase_House,_Barnstable_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789065","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuel_B._Chase_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6521534"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/barnstable-county/chase-lemuel-b-house-87000267/"}
