Large stuccoed wall surfaces, symmetrically placed openings with classical surrounds and a flat balustraded roofline create an abstract geometric effect. It meets criterion C.","narrative":"Built in 1909 by Joseph Remick, this stucco house at 84 Cambridge Street in Winchester sits on a hilltop overlooking a busy thoroughfare. Locals called it the \"Baby Sanborn House\" because it resembled the Sanborn mansion built farther along Cambridge Street in 1907. The design is an abstract version of Classical Revival style: a two-story, five-bay central section flanked by wings, topped by a balustraded flat roof. French windows with triangular pediments, keystones and metal balconies, a Greek key frieze at the cornice, and round-arched double doors in the wings add classical detail. A balustraded terrace extends forward, an attached three-bay garage sits at the rear, and a pergola runs along Swan Road. Later occupants included Otto Lawton, William Mitchel and attorney George Brayley. The house was listed for the high quality of its sparse, geometric Classical Revival design, which reflects the neo-rationalist movement of the period.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; built by Joseph Remick","architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is listed as excellent; present use is dwelling, same as the original use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:02.2943-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/43/7906/63790643/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000656.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000656/2e61c85a8e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000656/2e61c85a8e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WinchesterMA_JosephRemickHouse.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_JosephRemickHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790643","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Remick_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6286544"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/remick-joseph-house-89000656/"}
