ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> This is an example of local architect Willard Brown's free interpretation <br /> of the Shingle Style (and perhaps the European Arts and Crafts movement) which <br /> characterized his early buildings in Lexington (see 28 Meriam Street and 90 <br /> North Hancock Street forms) . Features are the hip roof with flared eaves and <br /> exposed rafters, the two-story stuccoed bay windows, and picturesque massing. <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 /> According to Willard Brown's daughter, this house was built by the <br /> 'amonts around World War I. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Shoenhut, Sara Emily.
