The architect is unknown, and it was originally a dwelling and remains one.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is the most fully developed example of the Shingle Style in Winchester. Its defining features are a shingle skin wrapping the whole house, a sweeping roofline, a corner tower with horizontal bands of windows, and porches contained within the building's plane. It meets criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"Built around 1890 at 16 Herrick Street in Winchester, Massachusetts, this 2½-story house is regarded locally as the town's most fully developed example of the Shingle Style. Its gable end faces the street beneath a sweeping lean-to roofline that shelters one porch, while a second porch is recessed into the center of the facade. A conical tower with horizontal bands of windows rises on the opposite side, and a bulging gable window adds a characteristic touch of the style. Shingles wrap the entire building. The house sits in a tightly developed residential neighborhood just east of the downtown commercial area and has had no major alterations. Little is known of its history beyond its owners. Louis N. Maxwell lived there from 1890 to 1897, followed by Caroline M. Burley until 1917 and Rufus F. Herrick until 1954. It was listed for its architectural qualities and retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Shingle Style","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a dwelling; condition described as good, with no major alterations and 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 02:13:02.224217-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/62/7912/63791262/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000650.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000650/40919f7dc8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000650/40919f7dc8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Waltham_MA_Louis_N_Maxwell_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:Waltham_MA_Louis_N_Maxwell_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791262","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_N._Maxwell_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715677"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/maxwell-louis-n-house-89000650/"}
