INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Community: Form No: <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL CCWISSION Lexington 405 <br /> Office of the Secretary, Boston <br /> Property Name: 6 Abbott Road <br /> Indicate each item on inventory form which is being continued below. <br /> ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE <br /> This house is a melding of late nineteenth century styles. Notable <br /> features of this house include the balustrade with urns over the central <br /> portion of the porch, palladian window in the gable end, and oval window <br /> in the pediment of the central dormer. The interior incorporates many <br /> interesting features: an ample two-story entrance hall onto which the five <br /> bedrooms on the second level open, a leaded glass window on the landing of <br /> the stairs, a stained glass window in the dining room, and many fine wooden <br /> finishes. The architect, Samuel D. Kelley, designed one, and perhaps two <br /> houses in Lexington for the Sherburne family a decade or more before he <br /> designed this house. / '�®b`' 10a6T " ferc <br /> Staple to Inventory form at bottom <br />
