The form dates it to 1840-56 and suggests an Italianate remodeling around 1870.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a well-preserved example of the gable-end, side-hall-plan house popular in the mid-19th century, with a wealth of Italianate detailing. It retains integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and meets criterion C at the local level. It is also linked to John S. Eaton and William F. Young, who probably gave it its Italianate look.","narrative":"This house at 190 Main Street in Wakefield faces Lake Quannapowitt in a residential neighborhood. Recorded as built between 1840 and 1856, it is a gable-end, side-hall-plan dwelling that appears to have been remodeled in the Italianate style, perhaps around 1870. Its jerkin-head gable roof, tall windows, and narrow porch with chamfered pillars and a flat arched frieze reflect that remodeling. An enclosed portico with paneled pilasters and a tall glass arch sits within the porch. A barn, said to date from the 1750s, is now joined to the house by rear additions. The house may have belonged to John S. Eaton, a state representative and selectman from an early settler family. By 1869 William F. Young, an early commuter to Boston who worked for a grocery firm, lived here and probably gave the house its Italianate look. It was listed for its architecture and its well-preserved integrity.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is described as good; the house is in present use as a dwelling, with an attached barn to the rear.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.768451-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/14/7910/63791014/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000666.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000666/337605b8bf-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000666/337605b8bf-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_190_Main_Street,_Wakefield_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_190_Main_Street,_Wakefield_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791014","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_190_Main_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5914029"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/house-at-190-main-street-89000666/"}
