ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> This large gambrel-roofed dwelling achieves asymmetrical massing and <br /> shingle styling through the use of bay windows of different sizes (one with <br /> polygonal projecting roof) , gables, dormers, and overall shingled finish. <br /> Decorative features include a stained glass window, an oculus window, diamond- <br /> paned windows, and round-headed windows in 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 /> Francis Winthrop Dean moved to Lexington in 1902, presumably as soon as <br /> his new house was completed. Eliot Road was developed slightly later than <br /> the rest of Munroe, its area being from 1895 to 1900 part of a nine-hole golf <br /> course, one of the earliest courses in the Commonwealth. Dean was a civil, <br /> mechanical and mill engineer. He immediately became active in town affairs <br /> serving on committees for the introduction of Metropolitan Water, the building <br /> of the Munroe School and the-Cary Library, and the Sewer Commission. <br /> iW, ► ,3y <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Hudson, Charles.
