INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Comity: Form No: <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL CM1ISSION Lexington 562 <br /> Office of the Secretary, Boston <br /> Property Name: 461-463 Concord Avenu <br /> Indicate each item on inventory form which is being continued below. <br /> ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE <br /> ones: an Italianate portico instead of the present closed entry, a two-story <br /> shed-roofed ell in place of the present gabled one, and a space for wagons <br /> underneath a one-story shed where the present garage now is. There was also <br /> a large barn on the east side of the property. <br /> After the fire, a cement block house was rebuilt on the original <br /> foundation which was essentially of the original proportions except that the <br /> main house had a hip roof with dormers. The owners who bought the house in <br /> 1937 hired architect Lester McKenzie to modify it; he put the gable roof on <br /> both the main house and two-story ell, added the Greek Revival entablatures, <br /> and stuccoed the exterior (Martha Teeter, personal communication) . No part <br /> of the original house remains with the possible exception of the garage, <br /> which is now a separate apartment and was not visited. The barn was <br /> demolished before 1950 but the foundation is still visible. <br /> Staple to Inventory form at bottom <br />
