Mann on the western shore of Wedge Pond.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a fine example of a picturesque mansard cottage, with a bellcast mansard roof, paired brackets, polygonal bays and a square corner tower with views of Wedge Pond. Built speculatively by local carpenters, it also illustrates Winchester's growth as a suburb in the second half of the 19th century.","narrative":"Built in 1869 at 57 Lake Street in Winchester, this 1½-story wood-frame cottage sits in a mid-19th century residential area on the western shore of Wedge Pond. Carpenters Moses and James A. Mann built it as a speculative venture and sold it a year later for $5,500, a $4,700 profit. Later owners included Mary Carr, who bought it before marrying Henry C. Miller, and Thomas Jeeves, who bought it in 1878 and added a barn. The Mobbs family owned it from 1909 until 1957. The L-plan house is clad in clapboards under a bellcast slate mansard roof with paired brackets. Its street front has a polygonal bay with round-arched windows, and a square mansard tower at the rear corner offers views of the pond. The design closely resembles a plate in Bicknell's Village Builder and Supplement (1878). The house reflects Winchester's growth as a suburb and is a distinctive picturesque mansard cottage.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Moses & James Mann, builders","architectural_style":"Mansard cottage (picturesque)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Used as a dwelling, as it was originally; condition listed 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 02:12:59.815342-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/93/7917/63791793/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000639.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000639/df7f0a07f4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000639/df7f0a07f4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WinchesterMA_CarrJeevesHouse.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_CarrJeevesHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791793","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carr-Jeeves_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5045952"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/carr-jeeves-house-89000639/"}
