The architect is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house retains integrity in its First Period plank frame, which represents a group of First Period houses in northern Essex County. The addition of a second cell within the First Period shows the typical evolutionary growth of single-cell houses. Its First Period floor plan survived Federal remodeling, a conservative survival of earlier planning.","narrative":"Built around 1690 at 180 Bridge Street in Hamilton, this clapboarded house began as a single-cell dwelling and was enlarged during the First Period with a second cell. It is seven bays long and two and a half stories high, with a one-story entrance porch and two rear chimneys. Later additions to the east, west and rear were made at unknown dates, and a two-story living room was created around 1980. Inside, the original room has a large summer beam with wide chamfers and lamb's tongue stops, and the exposed end-wall framing shows plank-frame construction, a method common among a group of First Period houses in northern Essex County. The house was updated in the Federal period, probably losing its central chimney, yet it kept its First Period floor plan. Federal trim survives around the rear fireplaces and the entry stair. A mid-19th-century barn and the meadow and wetland setting add to the property's historic character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"First Period core with Second Period vernacular exterior","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition described as good; in present 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 02:13:03.588459-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/46/7900/63790046/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/90000224.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000224/03a9901e9b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000224/03a9901e9b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HamiltonMA_WoodberryQuarrelsHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Magicpiano</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:HamiltonMA_WoodberryQuarrelsHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63790046","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodberry-Quarrels_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14716048"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/essex-county/woodberry-quarrels-house-90000224/"}
