ARCHITECfURAL DESCRIPTION [X] see continuation sheet

Describe architectural, structural and landscape features and evaluate in terms of other areas within the
community.
The ca. 45-acre area bordered north and south by Union and Lincoln Streets, and east and west by
Jefferson and Bolton Streets, is largely filled with modest- to stylish wood-frame houses typical of the
period from the Civil War era through the early twentieth century. With the exception of three pre-
1850 farmhouses on Union and Hudson Streets, Most of the area's older houses are located in the
southwestern part, on lower Highland, Jefferson, and Prospect Streets. The side streets of the area's
eastern section, developed between the late 1880's and 1910, comprise one of Marlborough center's
handsome turn-of-the-century hill-top neighborhoods, where Brimsmead, Tremont, Bicknell, and Short
Streets, and Huntington and Estabrook Avenues march down the southern slope of Prospect Hill.
Although there is considerable alteration throughout the area, in the western part, at least, there is a
higher proportion of intact windows, doors, and clapboard siding than in other sections of Marlborough
center.
A roughly chronological description of street development shows some of the architectural variety that
is present here. (Cont.)

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE [X] see continuation sheet

Explain historical development of the area. Di."iCUSS how this area relates to the historical development of
the community.
,i
As the industrial and commercial development of Marlborough center expanded in the latter part of
the nineteenth century, residential neighborhoods spread northward into the hilly farm country along
the pre-1800 Elm, Bolton, Hudson, Prospect, and Union Streets. Most of the land flanking Prospect
Street and stretching northwest up Prospect Hill to Union and Elm Streets, was owned by members of
the Tayntor family. One of their farmhouses, part of which was built in the early eighteenth century,
still stands at 77 Hudson Street. (See Form #61.) After the Civil War, much of the Tayntor land was
subdivided for houselots on the lower sections of Prospect and the new Highland and Jefferson Streets,
most of it by Hollis Tayntor (b. 1804), whose ca. 1870 house is located at 120 Prospect Street. By 1871,
the five houses on lower Jefferson Street, along with seven on Highland and fourteen on Prospect, and
86 and 90 Brimsmead Street, had all been built. Houses were beginning to extend north along Bolton
Street, as well. Brimsmead marked the southern edge of an 85-10t subdivision on land belonging to
Charles F. Morse, which included three planned side streets on the top of Prospect Hill. (Except for
the south side of Brimsmead, however, none of this section was actually developed until the mid-
twentieth century.) Besides the Tayntors and Charles Morse, in about 1880, J.S. Howe, of 93 Prospect
Street, laid out Bicknell and Tremont Streets, and extended Short Street north to Brimsmead. (Cont.)

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION, cont.

#76/78 is a large three-bay, 2 112-storyside-gabled house with a large rear wing, and #77/79 is a south-
facing, gable-end 2 112-story building with two-story porches. Stephen Simmons also built a few houses
on Highland Street for rent or resale. Among them, #84, built ca. 1889, is an early example of a side-
gabled Queen Anne house with a large gabled dormer extending over an integral facade porch.
The houses on Highland Street north of Fremont all post-date 1890. Some are still in the Queen Anne
Style; both #103 and 134, for instance, are typical 1890's cross-gabled houses, with the slanted corner
bay which was popular in several of Marlborough's neighborhoods during that decade. #128 retains
its ornamented, two-story facade bay and turned-posted and frieze-screened corner porch, both popular
1890's features, and #157, the most northerly house on the street, augments its prominent corner
location with a three-story square turret set into the angle of the house and wing.
Several houses at the north end of Highland as well as a few built on later lots on the southern section,
date to the early twentieth century. Bungalows, both side- and end-gabled, of the 1920's appear at
#122, 135, and 136. Hip-roofed duplexes were built at about the same time at #s 108, (ca. 1930), 144
and 149. An American Four-Square appears at #30, a Dutch Colonial Revival house at #107, and a
near-Prairie Style stucco house with overhanging roof and wide segmental arches at #55. A Colonial
Revival cottage at #141 probably dates to the 1930's, as does the stuccoed cottage at #156.
Jefferson Street. Lower Jefferson Street, with all five houses seen there today, was in existence by 1871.
#s 14 and 20, both gable-end houses with side wings, were apparently built by carpenter L.L. Walker,
the partner of George Cate. Joseph Manning owned both the side-gabled, twin-ridge-chimney house
at #6, and the long 1 lI2-story house at #23 with the unusual flared gambrel roof and later Queen
Anne porch. On the later northwest end of the street along the railroad are the early 1890's two-story
brick S.H. Howe Co. building and the one-story wood-frame gable-end Koehler Heel Plate Factory.
(See Form #645). Across the street, stretching north to Fremont Street, is Kelleher Field, (Form
#915) with its concrete and wood grandstand of 1939.
Bolton Street. #s 98 and 104 Bolton Street were both built about 1870. Although they present a 21/2-
story gable-end to the street, neither has its entry in the end facade. The better preserved is #104,
which retains its large 2-over-2-sash windows and Italianate brackets at the cornice lines. These were
followed by several Queen Anne gable-end houses built in the late 1880's and 1890's. #136 has a two-
story, skirted polygonal bay on the facade, and #132, the most well-preserved of the group, has a
sunburst-paneled and pattern-shingled pediment and a wraparound porch with bracketed turned posts,
"half-turned" balusters, and a finialed turret at the comer. Early twentieth-century houses, now altered,
including a Dutch Colonial and two Craftsman Bungalows, flank the intersection of Brimsmead Street.
Further north, a hip-roofed bungalow stands at 202 Bolton, and a Four-Square at #146.
Brimsmead Street. Although Brimsmead Street was laid out by 1871, the two gable-end houses at 90
and 86 stood alone there for many years. Although both are altered, #90 retains its main two-light,
glass-and-panel door, which is typical of the years right after the Civil War. Six other houses on the
south side, probably built in the 1890's, are all altered. #73, however, built on the north side of the
street in the late 1930's, after the ball grounds were discontinued, is a fairly well-preserved Colonial
Revival l L'z-story, symmetrical gable-end, with typical paired 6-over-l-sash, and a door with a fanlight
at the top, sheltered by a broken-pedimented entry hood. (cont.)

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION, cant.

Hudson Street. One of the original Tayntor family farmhouses stands alone amid some modem houses
at 77 Hudson Street. Although part of it apparently dates to the early eighteenth century, this former
center-chimney building is a 2 112-story, five-bay house which, typical of many old farmhouses, displays
later details from several decades of the nineteenth century. (See Form #61.)
Union Street. The large twin-chimney "double-pile" farmhouse of the Joseph Howe II family at 115
Union Street (Form #18) is a late Federal-period enlargement of a ca. 1733 saltbox. Most of the other
buildings here date to the early twentieth century, including the well-preserved stucco Federal Revival
Marlborough Hospital Nurses' Home of 1924 at 157 Union Street (see Form #646), and a cluster of
three ca. 1930's Cape Cod cottages on the south side of the street.
Prospect Street. Another Tayntor farmhouse, said to date to ca. 1870, but of an earlier form and style,
'is the Hollis Tayntor House at 120 Prospect. The four tall end chimneys, two on either side of the roof
ridge, are rare in Marlborough, and are actually more characteristic of a pre-1850 date. Of the fourteen
houses standing on Prospect Street by 1871, all the rest were probably built shortly after the Civil War
ended. Most are large side-hall-entry "gable-ends", 2- or 2 1I2-stories high, with side or rear wings, and
vernacular Italianate decoration, several of them updated with later Queen Anne features. One of the
best-preserved is the house of J.A. Clisbee at 76 Prospect, which retains its wood clapboards, two-light
glass-and-panel door, and bracketed, hooded windows. Other Italianate features still present on
Prospect Street houses include a heavy, bracketed door hood at #82, other two-light doors at 82 and
85, and a segmental-arched window at #85. The houses of this era stand on brick foundations, and
have molded, boxed cornices. Two small ca. 1870 two-story, gable-end cottages at 132 and 136, though
common in some of Marlborough's other neighborhoods, represent a type that is rare on Prospect Hill.
Prospect Street also has some handsome Queen Anne houses of the 1890's. The Pope House at 114
Prospect is one of the most intact Queen Anne buildings in the area. A tall, side-hall-entry gable-end
with a two-story side bay, it has a large double-leaf glass-and-panel door with a facade-width porch on
bracketed, turned posts and turned balusters. It has typical 2-over-2-sash windows with molded
surrounds, and an elaborately-decorated facade gable, where an incised verge board, pattern shingle,
and sunburst panels all vie for attention. "Infill" housing of the early twentieth century is best
represented here by two buildings, a ca. 1918 gambrel-roofed "three-decker" at #103, and a Dutch
Colonial Revival house of the late 1920's at #146.
Highland Street. Only the lower section of Highland Street was in existence by 1871. Like Prospect,
many of the earliest houses here are gable-ends, but few of those retain much Italianate detail. The
best-preserved of the type, another Clisbee family house at #13 Highland with "label" moldings over
the windows, is just as notable for the lacy Queen Anne rake-board decoration of its gables. Two ca.
1870 houses at 27 and 31 Highland are of a different type--the side-gabled, two-story house. Each has
a pair of chimneys, one positioned at the roof ridge, the other in front of it. The late 1880's and 1890's
Queen Anne houses of Highland Street are quite varied in form. #47, which undoubtedly displays the
skills of its builder-owner, HKW Andrews, is pyramid-roofed, with a polygonal comer turret, and #43,
next door, is a gable-end with an elaborately-decorated verge board, brackets, sunbursts, and a tall
square turret. A third turret type, with a bell-shaped "Moorish" roof, appears across the street at #68,
the H.W. Clark House. The house of E.L. Manning at 38 Highland Street has the "clipped" gable-ends
that were popular with the Queen Anne especially during the late 1880's, as does #60, another
Manning house. Two houses of the late 1880's belonging to Hollis W. Tayntor are typical of multi-
family rental houses of that era. (Cont.)

Bicknell Street was accepted by the city in 1891, and the lots of the west end, in part of the subdivision
of Mrs. J.S. Howe, were largely built up in the early 1890's. All the houses there are 2- or 2 1I2-story
gable-ends with vernacular Queen Anne detailing. Most have facade porches, and the only clapboarded
house here, #40, has a turned-posted, bracketed porch along its west side. It also retains lattice-work
wall decoration under its gables. The east end ofthe street has three good examples of early-twentieth-
century house types--an intact Craftsman Bungalow with integral facade porch at #17, a hybrid
Shingle/Colonial house at #19, and a 1112-story Federal Revival Cape Cod house with a fanlighted and
sidelighted center entry at #12.
Monroe Avenue was laid out in the 1890's on the property of Mrs. J.S. Howe, who lived at 93 Prospect
Street, with a pair of identical 2-bay, 2-story gable-ends with facade porches, both rental houses. (#s
1 and 3.)
Hollis and Tayntor Streets were also developed in the 1890's, and two other twin houses, both with
gable-ends with wraparound porches, this time on Tuscan columns, were built at #5 37 and 41.
Fremont Street's two houses, both altered from their original configuration, were built at about the
same time.
mSTORICAL NARRATIVE, cont.

In contrast to some other neighborhoods north of the center, building slowed here between 1871 and
1885. Then, with the efforts of builders like Frank Wall and George Cate, a true Prospect Hill
"building boom" began at the end of the 1880's. By the decade's end, Highland Avenue had added nine
more houses, seven were built on the new Huntington Avenue, four on Tremont, and two each on
Prospect and Short Streets. Building progressed rapidly through the first part of the 1890's, which saw
houses filling the new Estabrook Avenue and Bicknell and Tremont Streets. By 1901 the south half
of the area was almost fully-developed, with eight more houses on Prospect and Highland. Hollis,
Tayntor, and Fremont Streets and Monroe Avenue were also in existence. The progress of residential
development here slowed again in the early part of this century, however, with houses spreading
gradually up Highland and Bolton Streets, and onto the vacant parcels of Prospect, Uniion, and the side
streets.
From the start, the western section of Prospect Hill was a middle-class neighborhood that was home
to many of Marlborough's professionals and their families. Among them by the late 1890's were several
builders and carpenters, including both HKW Andrews and his son, Charles, Julius Clisbee, and Frank
Wall. Architect and city engineer James F. Bigelow also lived here, as did the city water registrar, John
St. Louis. Several store owners were Prospect Hill residents, including Frank Doane of the Fulton
Market, Charles Trowbridge of Lamson & Trowbridge's Hardware, Jeremiah Callahan of Callahan
Bros. meat and provisions on Bolton Street, and potato-chip dealer Charles Niles. In 1897 the
neighborhood included machine-shop owner C.G. Watson, S.H. Howe shoe-factory foremen Edwin
Evans and Arthur Gordon, People's National Bank assistant cashier Stillman Stevens, several book
keepers, and both the station agent and baggage-master of the Fitchburg Railroad Depot, Arthur Terry
and Charles Worster. Further east, especially on Short Street, the neighborhood was home to many
of Marlborough's Irish-American shoe-factory employees. (Cont.)

Huntington Avenue. Map evidence shows that six gable-end houses were built on the north extension
of Huntington Avenue during the 1880's. Most, such as #53/55, which has a slanted comer bay window
and is dominated by large 2-story turned-posted and bracketed porches, are strongly Queen Anne in
their details. One, however, the M. Hutchins House, at #61, stands on a granite foundation and has
a fully-sidelighted door at its sidehall entry--both indications of an earlier construction date. The most
well-preserved house on the street is the C.F. Davis House at #84, which retains its clapboard and
patterned-shingle siding, turned-posted, bracketed porch, and comer roof brackets. #76 has another
slanted corner bay and, in its facade gable, sunburst panels, a modillion course, a pierced, decorated
verge board, and comer brackets. #69, the C.W. Nourse House of the early 1890's, also retains some
patterned shingle, comer brackets, and elaborate sawcut sunbursts and other designs
Short Street. Four 2 1/2-story gable-end houses were built on the east side of the first block of the
newly-extended Short Street in ca. 1889-1891, and all are fairly well-preserved. The two earlier ones,
#s 31 and 35, clearly built by the same carpenter, have identical "Eastlakian" Queen Anne braced and
bracketed door hoods. #31 is the better preserved ofthe pair, and retains molded crowns at its 2-over-
2-sash windows, sawcut gable-screens in both front and side gables, brackets at its polygonal facade bay,
and turned posts, balusters and pierced brackets at the porch on its side wing. #49, built slightly later,
repeats the same door hood detail, and has an intact wraparound porch with turned posts and pierced
brackets, and a double-leaf, glass-and-panel door. In spite of synthetic siding elsewhere, the patterned
shingle and sunburst panels of its main gable remain intact. The best-preserved house of the group,
however, is #43. This is a somewhat smaller, two-bay gable-end cottage, which has kept its clapboard
siding, 2-over-2-sash windows with molded surrounds, glass-and-panel door, a king-post truss at its main
gable, and another Eastlakian-braced door hood. The houses on the west side of Short Street were
built much later. #8 32 and 34 are both typical Dutch Colonial Revivals of the second half of the
1920's. Although the fenestration at #32 has changed, #34 retains its wide clapboard siding, shingled
dormer, 6-over-l-sash windows, and a typical three-panel door with eight lights at the top, under a
gabled hood on slender Tuscan columns.
Tremont Street. Tremont Street, which had four gable-end houses standing by 1889 and several more
by 1900, is one of the most altered of the Prospect Hill streetscapes. Two houses near the east end,
however, are fairly well-preserved, and unusual for the Prospect Hill neighborhood. #14 is a type found
on Spring Hill and in the Howe Farm division east of Bolton Street--the large 2 l/2-story, four-bay,
side-hall-entry gable-end. Here it appears with a double-leaf door and a facade-width porch on turned
posts and "half-turned" balusters. The J. O'Brien House at #13, possibly the earliest house on the
street, is a large 2 112-story, 3-bay gable-end with a long side wing. It also retains its 2-over-2-sash
windows and double-leaf door. A house type unique in the neighborhood is represented by #80
Tremont, probably built at about the tum of the century. Although it is now synthetic-sided, its form,
with the entire second story built under a huge cross-gambreled roof, with a deep, balconied arch at
the front, is characteristic of the Shingle Style.
Estabrook Avenue, with only two houses, including a huge, very altered, comer-turreted multi-unit
house at #9/11, was developed in the 1890's. (Cont.)

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE, cont.

The historical development of the Prospect Hill area was not limited to residential uses. At least two
early shoe shops stood on Union and Bolton Streets in the 1830's, belonging to Col. Ephraim Howe
and Caleb Winchester. Agriculturally, the area north of Union Street, especially, was cattle-raising, and
later dairy country, and a pound for enclosing stray animals is shown near the comer of Union and
Hudson Streets on early-nineteenth-century maps. Although some of the early farmhouses along Union
Street are gone, the large, well-preserved eighteenth/early-nineteenth-century house of the Joseph Howe
II family stands at 115 Union Street, and another farmhouse belonging to Howe family members in the
second half of the nineteenth century remains at 69 Union Street.
This area has a recreational history, as well. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, baseball,
including games played by major teams, was in full swing on the "Prospect Hill Ball Grounds" (later
called Prospect Park) on the north side of Brimsmead Street. The sports tradition continues here to
this day, with the 1939 Kelleher Field (formerly Ward Six Park) between Jefferson and Fremont Streets.
(See Form #915).
In the early 1890's, industrial development began along the railroad on the south side of Jefferson
Street when the S.H. Howe Company built the brick storehouse/factory at #72. (See Form #645.)
Other factories and warehouses soon joined it, and in about 1906, the railroad built a large roundhouse
on a spur just southeast of the Howe buildings. After its removal about 25 years later, Jefferson Street
vas extended to Hudson Street.
Union Street has also been the site of the the Marlborough City Hospital since 1912, when the hospital
was relocated here from its former location at 27 Hildreth Street (see Form #83). Although the
hospital is now a thoroughly modem facility, its 1924 Nurses' Home (Form #646) is still in nearly
original condition.
The buildings discussed above and listed on the Area Data Sheet represent some of the most
historically or architecturally significant resources in the area. There are several more historic
properties located in the area, however. See Area Sketch Map for their locations.
