Hall, S.A., House
Why it's listed
Built around 1890 at 133 North Main Street in Uxbridge, this 2½-story house is a local example of Queen Anne architecture. It has an asymmetrical plan and sits on a rock-faced granite foundation. Its most notable features are a three-story tower under a high hip roof, decorative shingle work, and decorative sash in the tower and gables. The exterior is clapboard and shingle, and a garage stands on the property. The only major alteration recorded is a glazed entry porch. The house is valued mainly for its largely unaltered Queen Anne design, which is counted among the best of its type in town. It is also linked to S. Alonzo Hall, editor of the Uxbridge Compendium, who owned and lived in the house in 1898. The construction date may be slightly earlier than that record, since the design suggests about 1890. The property retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship and feeling.
Significance in brief: The house is significant mainly for its unaltered Queen Anne design and is considered among Uxbridge's best examples of Queen Anne residential architecture. It is also associated with S. Alonzo Hall, editor of the Uxbridge Compendium in the late nineteenth century, who owned and occupied it in 1898.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
