A carriage house and a stone wall lined drive with a copper lighting fixture belong to the property.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an excellent and somewhat unusual example of the Queen Anne style with Colonial Revival overtones. Its twin gabled facade, elliptical bay, Palladian window, ornate chimney and Tuscan verandah are cited as fine features. It meets criterion C for architecture. Little is known of its history beyond its first owner, Joseph S. Trowbridge, and a later owner named Badger.","narrative":"Built around 1886 at 12 Prospect Street in Winchester, Massachusetts, this clapboard house combines Queen Anne massing with Colonial Revival detailing. It is a two-and-a-half-story building under a gable roof, with an asymmetrical facade of two boldly scaled gables. One gable projects over a large glazed elliptical bay and holds a Palladian window; the other shows stickwork and decorative shingling. The entry is framed by slender, fluted, engaged Corinthian columns, leaded glass sidelights and a paneled door, and a verandah with paired Tuscan columns wraps the western half of the facade. A stone wall lined drive, with an ornate lighting fixture resembling a miniature street lamp, leads to a carriage house with a conical-roofed fieldstone bow. The house was listed for its architecture, as a well-preserved and unusual example of its style. Its first owner was Joseph S. Trowbridge; a later owner named Badger may have been Daniel B. Badger, who served on town committees around 1900. Little else is recorded of its history.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne/Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and currently used as a dwelling; not moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.161458-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/0/7912/63791200/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000647.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000647/bd08e6217a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000647/bd08e6217a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Winchester_MA_Trowbridge_Badger_House.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:Winchester_MA_Trowbridge_Badger_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791200","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trowbridge-Badger_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7846672"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/trowbridge-badger-house-89000647/"}
