Description of the property

LX Moved Original Site The James Blake House is situated at the approximate center of Richardson Park and is bounded on the Nby Columbia Road, the SW by East Cottage Street and the NE by Pond Street. The building is a two-storey, wood-frame, gable-roof house. It has a rectangular plan (38 feet by 20 feet) facing NE (to Pond Street), five bays wide by one bay deep. There is a central brick chimney projecting through the slate roof at the ridge (the slate having replaced wood- shingles sometime after 1941). The eave and raking trim consist of a frieze and wood gutters. All elevations are covered with wood-shingles. The windows are led-set, diamond-pane casements with moulded trim and slipsills. The main NE elevation has a single central door with moulded trim above the railed platform. The rear SW elevation has a single door set left of center.

The building stands on a stone-block foundation. Sometime prior to 1747 a one-storey, shed roof wing was added to what is now the SE elevationjlater (but prior to 1772) a similar wing was added to the NW elevation. The house also had two dormers on the Nw elevation that were removed sometime after 1750. Both the first and second floor interior plans consist of a single large room set to either side of the central chimney and a small room situated beyond its SW face. The central hall contains an enclosed wood stair butting against the NE face of the chimney and running from cellar to attic. The first floor is of modern hardwood while the second floor is of random width wood-plank. The doors vary throughout, some being paneled, some being of board and batten construction.

The walls are finished with painted plaster except for the fireplace walls covered with painted vertical wood wainscotting. The ceiling of the first floor has exposed joists, that of the second floor is finished with plaster. The main framing timbers are exposed throughout the house and are finished with fine chamfering. The NW attic gable contains a large remnant of what is believed to be original 17th Century plaster. In 1895 the house has moved approximately one-quarter mile east to its present location. The 1895 restoration removed the two wings, replaced the then existing sash windows with the present casements and clapboarding with wood-shingles. 8 RECÊVEO APR 3 1974 NATIONAL REGISTER Form 10-300a (July 1969) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM (Continuation Sheet) (Number all ontries) 6.

Statement of significance

The James Blake House is a fine example of 17th Century domestic architecture. Its traditional construction date of1650is supported by a study of the framing and joining. This date suggests that it is one of the few surviving houses in New England to have been built by immi- grant carpenters. The exceptionaly heavy timbers in the frame indicate that its builder was from the west of England. The first occupant of the house was James Blake who married in 1651 Elizabeth Clap, daughter of Deacon Edward Clap and niece of Roger Clap. It has been suggested that this house was built in anticipation ofthis James Blake, active in public aftairs, was among others,a selectman, deputy to the General Court, and chosen Deacon of the Church. His continued to live in the dwelling until 1825.

After this time a variety of owners occupied the house until 1895 when the City of Boston acquired the property. At first the City planned to demolish the building but when the Dorchester Historical Society offered to move and preserve the house it was given to them along with the right to relocate it at Richardson Park. This was one of the earliest instances of a house being moved solely for the purpose of historic preservation. 7118 9 RECEIVED APR 3 1974 NATIONAL REGISTER 308 T2.

The research team consisted of Daniel Miles and Michael Worthington of the Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory, England, with Anne Grady doing historical research and acting as local coordinator. Restoration carpenter Michael Burrey took the samples. Their report, cited below, presented the following results and conclusions. A total of 20 individual samples were taken from 11 timbers. Six of the timbers produced precise felling dates of winter 1660/61 and a seventh was dated to the spring of 1661. The report states, "Given the high degree of clustering of precise felling dates, it is almost certain that the house would have been constructed during 1661.

The single timber which was felled slightly later, during the spring of 1661, probably represented a timber needed to augment the stock of timber required to construct the house during framing." The 1661 date confirms the Blake House is the second oldest standing building in New England, after the 1641 Fairbanks House in Dedham. The full results of the analysis are presented in: D. W. H. Miles FSA and Michael Worthington, The Tree-Ring Dating of the Blake House, Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Interim Report 2007/21, Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory, June 2007. Summary data can be found on the Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory website www.dendrochronology.com. The full report can be found at the Dorchester Historical Society and at the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

A note on dendrochronology dating In recent years tree-ring chronologies have been developed for eastern Massachusetts and adjacent regions, and a number of buildings or parts of buildings have been evaluated and given new construction dates due to tree-ring dating, or dendrochronology. The principle behind tree- ring dating is a simple one: the seasonal variations in climate produce variations in growth which are reflected in the varying width of the annual rings of the tree. The rings in timbers from historical houses are compared with previously dated ring sequences from old-growth trees and from timber from structures with well-established dates to allow precise dates to be ascribed to each ring. Computer comparisons quantify how good the match is between the two. A dendrochronologist then analyzes the results and establishes the date the tree was felled.

Some caution must be used in interpreting these dates to determine the construction date of a building. Sometimes timbers from the same construction phase of the same building have been felled one, two or more years apart. However, it was common practice to build timber-framed structures with green or unseasoned timber, and it is likely that construction was completed within twelve or eighteen months from the felling date.
