It is also tied to the Harrisons and to the Newton architectural firm Brainerd and Leeds.","narrative":"Built about 1915 at 14 Eliot Memorial Road in Newton Corner, this shingled cottage is a rustic example of the Craftsman style. The firm of Brainerd and Leeds designed it for Mr. and Mrs. C. Lewis Harrison. The 1 3/4 story house has a gabled roof with exposed rafter ends, a large shed dormer with two eyebrow dormers above, and a porch roof carried on heavy concrete columns. Rubblestone chimneys rise on both side elevations, and a one story wing and a detached two car garage complete the property. It sits on a large wooded lot overlooking the Eliot Memorial and the Commonwealth Country Club. Its listing rests on its preserved design and unusual rural setting. C. Lewis Harrison was a Boston lawyer. His wife Agnes trained as a nurse, organized nurses' training schools, and supported French Relief during the First World War. She was also known for her gardens.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Brainerd & Leeds","architectural_style":"Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition, with no major alterations, and in use as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:04.175113-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/85/7906/63790685/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/90000045.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000045/5c2f169bf1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000045/5c2f169bf1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"User:Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NewtonMA_CLewisHarrisonHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Magicpiano</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NewtonMA_CLewisHarrisonHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790685","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Lewis_Harrison_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5006667"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/harrison-c-lewis-house-90000045/"}
