It faces south on the edge of Crystal Lake and is recorded in the Stick Style.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of Wakefield's best examples of Stick Style residential architecture. It also reflects the suburban development of the town after the railroad arrived in the mid-19th century. It is described as meeting Criteria A and C at the local level, with good integrity.","narrative":"Lynnwood is a house at 5 Linden Avenue in Wakefield, Massachusetts, built about 1858 on the south shore of Crystal Lake, then known as Smith's Pond. It is an idiosyncratic Stick Style design with a gabled main block, a projecting transverse gable, a tower on the southwest, arched braces with pendants under the eaves, and drip molds over paired windows. Later changes include the top of the tower and an east tower around 1900, an enclosed porch in 1970 and a new entry in 1982. The house was built for the daughter of the Lord family, who were involved in a Lynn newspaper. It was the last of three houses on the lake's south shore built before 1874. Their construction reflects the commuting convenience created by the railroad, which arrived in 1845 on farmland laid out for development by James Sullivan in 1844. The house is considered one of the town's best Stick Style examples.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick Style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is a dwelling; condition is listed as fair.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.427754-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/19/7919/63791919/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89000705.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000705/be7ee7522e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000705/be7ee7522e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WakefieldMA_Lynnwood.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_Lynnwood.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63791919","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynnwood_(Wakefield,_Massachusetts)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6709487"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/lynnwood-89000705/"}
