Hall. It combines an Italianate tower with a mansard roof.","why_significant":"The nomination calls the house a locally unique blend of the towered Italian villa form and a truncated mansard roof, well preserved with original clapboards, 2/2 sash, bracketed cornice and two-story bay windows. It is also tied to Henry C. Hall, a prominent Waltham druggist, and illustrates the South Side's growth in the later 19th century under the Waltham Watch Company.","narrative":"Built between 1872 and 1874 at 107 Crescent Street in Waltham, this two-story clapboard house pairs an offset three-story tower with a truncated mansard roof, a combination the local survey describes as unique. Sawn brackets trim the cornice, tower, porch roof and two-story bay windows, and most windows keep their original 2/2 sash. Two-story and one-story ells extend to the rear. Henry C. Hall, a partner in the Hall and Lyon drugstore business on Moody Street, bought the lot in 1872 from Henry P. Sherman, who had acquired it from the American Watch Company. Hall's pharmacy, founded in 1868, was regarded as one of the leading drug businesses in Middlesex County. The house stayed in the Hall family until at least the early 1930s. Its setting reflects the South Side's development during the second half of the nineteenth century. It was listed for its architecture and for its association with local commercial and community growth.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; built for Henry C.
