The architect is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well conceived estate house whose eclectic design unifies Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Shingle styles. It also notes the first owner, Marshall W. Jones, was a wealthy businessman who served on the local Board of Health and on a town committee studying the dangerous railroad crossing in the town center.","narrative":"Built around 1901 at 326 Highland Avenue in Winchester, Massachusetts, this 2½-story shingled house is one of several estate houses on the western slope of the Middlesex Fells Reservation. The area likely appealed to turn-of-the-century buyers after the Metropolitan Park Commission acquired the Fells in the 1890s. The asymmetrical facade is dominated by two unequal cross gables with half-timbering, embossed vergeboards and finials, and a porte-cochere with paired Tuscan columns stands between them. A verandah wraps the west side and ends in a bow, and shingles wrap around corners and windows. The design blends Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Shingle styles, and the house is described as retaining its original character with no major alterations. Its first owner, Marshall W. Jones, was a wealthy businessman who served on the Board of Health and on a 1906 committee that proposed an elevated railroad viaduct through the town center, a plan voted down in 1907.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is as a dwelling; condition is listed as excellent with no major alterations and the house has not been moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:00.170341-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/60/7911/63791160/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000649.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000649/0d68e88f3a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000649/0d68e88f3a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WinchesterMA_MarshallWJonesHouse.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_MarshallWJonesHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791160","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_W._Jones_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6773828"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/jones-marshall-w-house-89000649/"}
