Its second-floor longitudinal summer beams are an infrequently used framing technique that the form says deserves further study.","narrative":"Standing at 1044 Lowell Road in Carlisle, this large 2½-story house with a central chimney dates to the first quarter of the 18th century and is classed as First Period. It is two rooms deep with a five-bay facade and a Greek Revival entry porch. Two full-height wings with shed roofs extend from the rear sides, and later additions include a modern two-story section and a small rear addition. Inside, the frame shows transitional First Period workmanship, including exposed quirk-beaded posts, plates, girts and beams in the right-hand rooms, and early rafter construction in the attic. The second-floor longitudinal summer beams are an unusual framing technique that merits further study. The house was listed because its surviving late First Period frame and roof retain integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship. It sits on 4.5 acres in a rural setting beside state conservation land, with granite fence posts remaining in front.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"First Period","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Recorded in good condition and in present use as a residence; it has not been moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:03.522692-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/77/7907/63790777/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/90000169.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000169/ce96612ba2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000169/ce96612ba2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zeb_Spaulding_House,_Carlisle_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zeb_Spaulding_House,_Carlisle_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790777","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeb_Spaulding_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8068216"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/spaulding-zeb-house-90000169/"}
