BUILDING FORM (21 Glen Road South) <br /> ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION <br /> Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the <br /> community. <br /> Located on a steep and wooded hill on a badly rutted dirt road between Grant Street and Glen Road, 21 Glen Road South <br /> (MHC 41053) is a modest 1 1/2-story, side-gabled dwelling which rests on a fieldstone foundation. Projecting from the <br /> broad side of the house is a two-bay wide hip-roofed porch supported by plain posts. Underneath the porch the paneled <br /> wooden front door displays 4 x 2-upper lights. There are two bays of windows on one side of the entrance and three on the <br /> other. Fenestration consists primarily of 6/1 windows. <br /> Adjacent to the road is an early 20th century garage(MHC#1054) which appears to survive in a largely unaltered condition. <br /> The building has mortared fieldstone walls with two sets of double doors facing the road. Each leaf displays 4 x 2-lights over <br /> four horizontal recessed panels. Windows on the side walls contain 6/6 sash. <br /> H14TORICAL NARRATIVE <br /> Desycribe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local(or state) history. Include uses of the building and <br /> the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. <br /> According to local sources this house is reportedly a Sears &Roebuck house and was built as a wedding present for the <br /> daughter of a family on Oakland Street. Unfortunately this could not be verified. <br /> Research indicates that the house was constructed prior to 1920, possibly for Joseph and Lena(Tukey)Fiske (who married in <br /> 1905). The 1920 Lexington Valuation List assesses Lena Fiske for a house valued at$3200 including 17,770 square feet of <br /> land. According to deeds,the land was the lar er and southeast portion of Lot 40 on plan of land in Lexington owned by <br /> David Muzzey in 1888.

The Fiskes <br /> continued to occupy the house until 1955 when Joseph Fiske sold the property to C.
