It is also valued as a well-preserved homestead reflecting the village's early history.","narrative":"Standing at 310 Pine Street in West Barnstable, this farmhouse dates to about 1750 and still serves as a residence. It is a two-and-a-half story, four-bay building with a low-pitched gable roof, wood shingle cladding and an off-center chimney aligned with the off-center front door. The door has wide vertical trim boards and a triangular pediment over a plain five-light transom, and the large two-over-two windows have blinds. An ell extends from the north end, and shouldered posts in the framing point to an eighteenth-century date. The property includes a garage, a utility building and a screened pavilion on about two acres. It was listed for its link to the Jenkins family, who in the 1800s developed the surrounding land for farming and livestock, took part in the religious, social and political life of the village, and joined the cranberry industry that grew up in the area. The house is considered a well-preserved example of an early local homestead.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal period, three-quarter house, two and a half story","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Condition is described as good; it is in present use as a residence and has had no major alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.03437-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/10/7892/63789210/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/87000322.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000322/7c59e2907f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000322/7c59e2907f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BarnstableMA_JosephJenkinsHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">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:BarnstableMA_JosephJenkinsHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63789210","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Jenkins_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6284377"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/barnstable-county/jenkins-joseph-house-87000322/"}
