ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> There are several houses in Lexington with this sort of gable treatment <br /> (but without the dentils) . They include 24 Oakland Street, 3 Chandler Road, <br /> and additions to 19 Oakland Street (these other houses are by Willard Brown) . <br /> The source of the gable design has not been identified. It could be a Willard <br /> Brown concoction. The house is really a late variant of the Shingle Style <br /> which is given a particularly "Old English" look by the gables. <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 Arthur F. Turner, a clerk in Boston. He married <br /> in 1904, so that may be the date this house was completed. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Hudson, Charles.
