It is also tied to the 1670 Woodcock settlement and ordinary, the later Maxcy and Hatch tavern families, and Jonathan Maxcy, second president of Brown University. The burial ground holds 112 stones dating from 1723 to 1825.","narrative":"Located at the junction of North Washington and East Washington Streets in North Attleborough, this 2.1-acre district centers on a two-and-a-half-story plank-framed house built about 1715-1720 by John Daggett. Known locally as the Woodcock Garrison House, it is probably not the original garrison, which stood about thirty feet away and was razed in 1806. The house is a rare Massachusetts example of a stone-ender, with a large masonry mass at one gable end, a two-room plan and a half cellar. The district also includes a burial ground across the street, with 112 stones from 1723 to 1825, and a relocated c. 1850 schoolhouse. The site began with John Woodcock's 1670 ordinary on the main route between Boston and Rhode Island. Later the Maxcy and Hatch families ran a tavern and inn here. Jonathan Maxcy, second president of Brown University, was born in the house in 1768. The Historical Society now operates it as a museum.","period_of_significance":"1670-c. 1890","architect_builder":"John Daggett","architectural_style":"Colonial/Post medieval English (stone-ender)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Owned and operated as a museum by the North Attleborough Historical Society and open to the public regularly; the house was restored in 1957.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:04.99769-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/78/7944/63794478/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/90001081.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001081/256cd8debe-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001081/256cd8debe-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woodcock-Hatch-Maxcy_House,_North_Attleborough_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:Woodcock-Hatch-Maxcy_House,_North_Attleborough_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63794478","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodcock%E2%80%93Hatch%E2%80%93Maxcy_House_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8032520"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/bristol-county/woodcock-hatch-maxcy-house-historic-district-90001081/"}
