The architect is unknown, and a large barn with a cupola survives on the property.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a fine and locally rare example of the Stick Style that keeps its integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. It also retains its carriage barn. It is also noted as the home of Captain Thomas Gray, a steamship captain.","narrative":"Built around 1875 at the east end of Main Street in Hyannis, near the Yarmouth line, this clapboard house is a rare local example of the Stick Style. Its two stories rise to a hip roof with many cross gables, which enliven a basic T-shaped plan. Incised stick work fills the gables, and bold stylized pediments top many of the windows. A one-story porch with simple brackets and squared posts wraps around the front, meeting the arms of the T. The eastern arm has a two-story, three-sided bay ending in a conical cap. A large barn with a cupola still stands on the three-quarter-acre lot, adding to the property's completeness. The house is associated with Captain Thomas Gray, noted as a captain of steam ships. It was recognized under the architectural criterion because it keeps its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and because few Stick Style buildings survive locally. It remains a dwelling in good condition with no major alterations.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick style","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition described as good; present use is a dwelling; no major alterations; not moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:00.917313-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/81/7890/63789081/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/87000280.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000280/e476623b38-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000280/e476623b38-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:14_Main_St,_Hyannis_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:14_Main_St,_Hyannis_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789081","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capt._Thomas_Gray_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5036477"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/barnstable-county/gray-capt-thomas-house-87000280/"}
