ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> This large house with L-shaped plan is typical of the substantial houses <br /> being built on Munroe Hill at the turn of the twentieth century. The house is <br /> fairly accurate to its colonial sources except in the shed dormers. <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 Charles Follen Garrison, an electrical engineer <br /> in Boston. The son of abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles was named <br /> for Charles Follen, the minister of the East Lexington Church who like Charles' <br /> father spoke out against slavery and who died in 1840. Two brothers of <br /> Charles had houses on Munroe Hill by the early twentieth century. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Hudson, Charles.
