It was moved to its present site around 1899 from the corner of Main Street and Mystic Valley Parkway.","why_significant":"The house is a rare example of an Italian villa in Winchester and reflects mid-nineteenth-century taste for picturesque suburban houses. It was the residence of Harrison Parker, a prosperous local mill owner who cut mahogany veneers. The move is covered by the criteria exception for moved properties.","narrative":"Built in 1843, this two-and-one-half story Italian villa at 60 Lloyd Street in Winchester was home to Harrison Parker (1812-1890), a mill owner who shaped the town's nineteenth-century industry. Parker cut mahogany veneers using a shaving machine he developed, rather than sawing the wood, and the house's elaborate moldings, balusters and other woodwork reflect his trade. The T-plan house has a very low hip roof that appears flat, a wide cornice with closely spaced brackets, clapboard siding, round-headed upper windows and porches on three sides. It first stood near the Aberjona River overlooking Parker's mill, on land where Horace Hatch's earlier house had been, and was moved to Lloyd Street around 1899 when the First Unitarian Church was built. The entrance porch has since been enclosed and the upper stage of the tower removed. It was listed as a rare local villa and as the home of a prosperous mill owner.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italian villa","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Present use is a dwelling; condition is listed as excellent.
