It is an Italianate-style house with a rear ell and attached barn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant under Criterion A for its association with the Symmes family, among Winchester's first settlers and prominent in local affairs throughout the town's history. It is one of four houses tied to the family near Symmes Corner on Main Street. It is also a conservative example of Italianate design.","narrative":"Built in the 1870s at 233 Main Street in Winchester, this Italianate house was erected as a rental property on the estate of Marshall Symmes, a blacksmith who lived to age 100. It is a three-bay, gable-roofed building with a slate roof, broad eaves, and a center entrance under a flat-roofed porch with square columns. Two-over-two windows have bracketed lintels and sills, and a polygonal bay rises on the south side. The paired cornice brackets have been lost, though their outlines remain visible. A gabled ell and a two-bay barn stand at the rear. The house is one of four associated with the Symmes family near Symmes Corner, directly across from Symmes's own residence. The family descends from Reverend Zachariah Symmes, who received a land grant of about 300 acres there before 1650, and his sons began farming it soon afterward. The house was listed for its link to this early settler family.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate (Bracketed)","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Condition described as excellent; present use is as a dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.975878-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/38/7915/63791538/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000637.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000637/05ded549b4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000637/05ded549b4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WinchesterMA_MarshallSymmesTenantHouse.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_MarshallSymmesTenantHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791538","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Symmes_Tenant_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6773797"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/symmes-marshall-tenant-house-89000637/"}
