It is also a vernacular example of the gable-front Greek Revival style found along South Street. It is significant at the local level under criteria A and C.","narrative":"Located at 218 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts, this two-and-a-half story house was built between 1831 and 1855 in the Greek Revival style. It follows the typical three-bay, side-entry, gable-front plan. Details include paneled corner boards, a wide frieze, and a pediment with frieze trim. A small porch with a Doric column on the east side and a recessed entrance on the west side of the rear portion are unusual features. Compared with other Greek Revival houses along South Street, it is smaller and plainer, and it resembles the middle-class houses of the nearby High, Sayles and Winter Street area. Those houses were owned by foremen, supervisors and skilled craftsmen of the Hamilton Woolen Company. The house appears to have been part of Globe Village's expansion as the Hamilton Mill prospered. The original owner, Lorenzo Stone, had an unknown occupation. The house is still used as a residence, has synthetic siding, and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is residence, in good condition; the rear wing appears to have been remodeled in the mid-20th century and the exterior has synthetic siding.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:02.161704-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/81/7934/63793481/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000537.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000537/1af7ba59d5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000537/1af7ba59d5-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SouthbridgeMA_LorenzoRStoneHouse.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:SouthbridgeMA_LorenzoRStoneHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63793481","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_R._Stone_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6680810"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/stone-lorenzo-r-house-89000537/"}
