It has served as a dwelling throughout its history.","why_significant":"The house is notable as one of a few local examples of an unusual Greek Revival cottage form, with an overshot front gable that creates an integral full-width porch. It strongly resembles the Hovey-Winn House, built by the local housewright John Coats. It also reflects the growth of the Grove Street area near Harrison Parker's mill.","narrative":"Built around 1835, this Greek Revival cottage at 26 Grove Street in Winchester is a one-and-one-half story, gable-roofed house, five bays wide and two bays deep, with a two-story rear ell. Its most distinctive feature is an overshot front gable that forms the roof of a full-width classical portico. The center entrance has a transom and sidelights, and three gabled dormers with six-over-six sash sit on the front roof slope. The house may have been built by John Coates, a well-known local housewright, and it resembles the nearby Hovey-Winn House of 1841. It was moved from 60 Lloyd Street to Grove Street about 1843, when Harrison Parker, Sr. bought land along the Aberjona River for his wood veneer business. Later owners included the mill owner's son John Bacon, and the house was probably rented to mill employees. It was listed for its architectural interest as one of few local examples of this cottage form.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John Coates (?)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is a dwelling; condition is described as excellent.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.6927-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/8/7909/63790908/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000612.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000612/3a6fca5eff-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000612/3a6fca5eff-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WinchesterMA_HoraceHatchHouse.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:WinchesterMA_HoraceHatchHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790908","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Hatch_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5901819"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/hatch-horace-house-89000612/"}
