The form dates it to 1907 in the historical text and to the late 1910s in the description section.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a well-preserved example of a relatively rare residential type in Quincy, where two-family houses were far more common. It retains integrity of design, feeling, materials, location and association, and is one of a handful of triple deckers in the city to survive without significant alterations. It also reflects the early twentieth-century residential development of North Quincy.","narrative":"This three-decker at 51 Hunt Street in North Quincy is one of a small number of triple-deckers built in Quincy during the early twentieth century. The historical text gives 1907 as its construction date, while the description section places it in the late 1910s. Most multiple-family housing in the city took the form of two-family houses, and far fewer three-deckers were built than in streetcar suburbs nearer Boston, such as Somerville and Dorchester. The Colonial Revival building is sheathed in clapboards and set on a granite foundation. Its features include a multi-storied porch with square paneled posts, an elaborate balustrade, and a projecting roof cornice with dentils and simple brackets. It has survived without significant alterations. The street was laid out in land subdivided by Henry Hunt for developer Charles F. Stratton in 1888 and 1889, and the building is valued as a well-preserved example of a rare local housing type.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is described as good, with no major alterations, no outbuildings, and the building has not been moved.
