It keeps its integrity and is considered significant at the local level under architectural criteria. It also sits on land tied to the Reuben Green and Nash farms and the Boynton family, within the Greenwood neighborhood.","narrative":"This 2½-story house on Greenwood Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts, dates to about 1875 and remains a dwelling. It faces west with its gable end toward the street and is a rare local example of the Stick style. Stick-like bracing fills the gable, which is also ornamented with saw-tooth edged board and batten siding. A row of recessed bosses forms a stringcourse, second-floor windows on the west have hooded surrounds on brackets, and a columned porch carries similar brackets. A one-story bay and the transverse north and south gables repeat the saw-tooth stickwork. The house stands on former Reuben Green farm land, later the farm of Judge Nash and then the Boynton family, in the neighborhood called Boyntonville. That area passed from Charlestown to Malden to Wakefield, and its population grew after the railroad arrived. The house was already standing by 1892, when surrounding lots were laid out for sale. Restoration of its siding and trim was under way when recorded in 1985.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick Style","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is a dwelling; condition is fair, with siding and trim stripped and restoration in process.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.111214-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/88/7912/63791288/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000702.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000702/2d50624d8b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000702/2d50624d8b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WakefieldMA_118GreenwoodStreet.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:WakefieldMA_118GreenwoodStreet.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791288","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_118_Greenwood_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5913900"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/house-at-118-greenwood-street-89000702/"}
