The architect is unknown, and the owner through 1920 was Harry B. Ingraham.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is an unusual example of a stylish three-decker built to attract upper middle class families in the early 1890s, when its Main Street neighborhood was one of Worcester's affluent residential areas. It is also described as the most outstanding and best preserved Queen Anne style three-decker in the city. It was the first three-decker in the Freeland-Hitchcock Street area.","narrative":"Built around 1892 at 19 Freeland Street in Worcester, this three-decker was designed to offer fashionable rental housing in a high-status neighborhood. It was the first three-decker in the Freeland-Hitchcock Street area and housed businessmen and professionals who mostly worked downtown. Early residents included a physician, a springboard manufacturer and a reporter, and a later owner-occupant in the 1920s ran the Worcester Yarn Mill. The building follows the side-hall plan but is much larger than average. Its asymmetrical facade has a projecting three-tier porch beside a three-story bay window, clad in clapboard with cut shingle bands. Gable porticos, fluted and turned posts, curved brackets, a Stick style frieze and stained glass add detail. It is regarded as the finest Queen Anne three-decker in the city and remains unusually well preserved, with no recorded major alterations. It was recognized for its architecture and for its role in upscale rental housing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne style Three-Decker","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; condition is described as excellent with no major alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:01.446778-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/53/7933/63793353/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89002363.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89002363/37e68b541c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89002363/37e68b541c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Tim Pierce","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:19_Freeland_St_Worcester_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Pierce</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:19_Freeland_St_Worcester_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63793353","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_B._Ingraham_Three-Decker","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5667044"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/worcester-county/ingraham-harry-b-three-decker-89002363/"}
