ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> One of the substantial houses built on Munroe Hill in the 1890s, this <br /> house is more frankly Queen Anne (without Shingle Style elements) than many <br /> of the others. Important features of the design include bay windows, a broad <br /> porch with fluted square columns, a balustrade with decorative urns above <br /> the porch, and a central gable with round-headed window trimmed with a <br /> distinctive design of radiating T-shaped ornaments. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state <br /> history and how the building relates to the development of the community.) <br /> The house was built by Albin Rufus Reed, a vocal music teacher in <br /> Boston, who first occupied it in June of 1894. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Hudson, Charles.
