The architect is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the house is a well-preserved example of the three-decker development that shaped the streetcar suburb west of University Park in the early 20th century. It is also an unusually well-detailed example of the Colonial Revival three-deckers built in the area. It is considered significant at the local level under criteria A and C.","narrative":"Built around 1914 at 22 Haynes Street in Worcester, this Colonial Revival three-decker belongs to a late wave of multi-family construction in the Main South area. The neighborhood west of University Park was subdivided as a streetcar suburb, with service along Main and Cambridge streets linking it to downtown, while nearby factories continued to draw families. The house has a side-hall plan, a hip roof with a wide cornice overhang, a small gable dormer, and a recessed three-tier porch beside a three-story bay window. Clapboard covers most of the walls, with shingles on the third story and in a band between the first and second floors. Two denticulated bands mark the breaks between stories, an unusual detail. The first owner, Thomas Crabtree, a superintendent, lived in the house, and early tenants included a motorman and a night lunch operator. It is recognized as a remarkably intact and well-detailed example of the local three-decker type, with no major alterations.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival Three-Decker","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Condition described as excellent; present use is residential, with no major alterations.
