White, a traveling salesman. The architect is unknown.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of the best-preserved of a handful of late Shingle Style residences built in North Quincy in the early 20th century. It retains integrity of design, location, materials, feeling and association. It is also typical of the suburban housing that developed on subdivided Billings farmland after rail and street railway service reached the area.","narrative":"This single-family house at 101 Billings Road in North Quincy, Massachusetts, was built about 1905 by Charles E. White, a traveling salesman. By 1923 it belonged to Fred A. Bartlett, a physician. It is a side-hall plan Shingle Style house with a granite foundation, a cross-gabled roof, a recessed gable window set within curving shingles, and a picturesque oriel window. It has had no major alterations and remains in good condition. A 1920s garage at the rear does not contribute to its significance. The house stands in the Atlantic neighborhood, formed in the 1890s when the large farms of Caleb Billings and John Alfred Billings were subdivided. Developers were drawn by easy access to Boston on the Old Colony Railroad and the street railway, and most building there took place in the first two decades of the twentieth century. The house was listed for its architecture and its link to this suburban growth, as one of the best-preserved examples of its type locally.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Built by Charles E.
