Charles Adams-Woodbury Locke House
The Charles Adams-Woodbury Locke House is an historic house at 178 Central Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival house was built about 1840 for a Boston leather merchant and was one of the first residences of a commuter, rather than a farmer, in the Winter Hill neighborhood of the city.〔
〕 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.〔
==Description and history==
The Adams House is located on the west side of Central Street, a short way south of Broadway, the major roadway that passes over Winter Hill. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a front-facing gable roof and clapboard siding. The building has wide corner boards and a broad entablature, and the gable is fully pedimented. A single-story porch extends across the front, supported by Doric columns, with a balustrade above. The main entrance is in the right-most bay, flanked by sidelight windows. The interior has retained much of its original woodwork.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Charles Adams-Woodbury Locke House )〕
Built about 1840, the house is a fine local example of Greek Revival architecture. Its original parcel of land (now subdivided into residential plots), extended from Broadway to Medford Street. Charles Adams was a farmer, state legislator, and one of the first tenants of Boston's Quincy Market. Adams gave land for a schoolhouse on Broadway (now the site of the Winter Hill Congregational Church). Woodbury Locke, a later resident, was involved in the leather business in Boston.〔
