Description of the property

The Hiram Sands House is located on Putnam Avenue, several blocks from Harvard Square, in the Cambridgeport area of Cambridge. The house is the only large Bracketed house in Cambridgeport which retains much of its original appearance. Although the house is confined to a conventional 63 by 100 foot lot on a busy street, its setting is enhanced by a garden seen behind a picket fence. The two-story brick house was built in 1848 for a member of the Sands family, owners of an important North Cambridge brickyard. The building retains many Greek Revival aspects in its stolid mass and pedimented lintels on the upper-floor windows. The proportions and the widely projecting eaves supported by pairs of brackets belong to the Italianate period. Interspersed between the large brackets is a series of smaller brackets that read almost as a row of dentil blocks.

The design of the large eave brackets is repeated on a smaller scale on each face of the square posts and pilasters of the front portico. The result is a lacy enframement of the entrance that contrasts with the building's otherwise heavy proportions. The facade ornamentation is strongly plastic - window caps and sills project bluntly, and two belt courses corbel out from the wall in two steps of brick. The deep brick fascia under the main cornice is not designed as an entablature, and its depth is determined solely by the three-foot high roof brackets. An important Italianate feature not evident from the facade is the irregular plan of the Hiram Sands House. The I-shaped core allows two rooms on one side of the central hall and just one large room on the other.

size and elaboration as the main gable, while the roof of the long service wing thrusts out at one side at a distinctly lower level. Built on a corner, the house has front and side elevations faced with pressed brick, while common brick is employed on the rear. Similarly, there is no projecting corner pilaster on the left rear corner of the building or on the service wing.

Statement of significance

/ARCHITECT possibly levi Perkins The Hiram Sands House is significant for its associations with the Cambridge brickmaking industry and as one of the most outstanding architectural examples in the community of Cambridgeport. The Sands House at 22 Putnam Avenue was the home of Hiram Sands who belonged to a promi- nent Cambridge brickmaking family and operated a brickyard near his residence. The house is the second of three brick Sands family homes erected in Cambridge during the mid-nineteenth century. The first still exists at 145 Elm Street and the third, in North Cambridge, was demolished in 1939. The Sands House incorporates elements of both the Greek Revival and Italianate styles and is an unusually elaborate example of a mid- nineteenth century craftsman's residence.

Iocated on a prominent corner site, it is the most significant building in the Putnam Avenue area and occupies an important place in the history of Cambridge architecture. The lot on which the Sands House stands was purchased by John Sands in 1848 from John and Horace Hews who were involved in the Putnam Avenue brickyards. Hiram Sands bought the lot and the partially finished house in October of the same year. Levi Perkins, a Cam- bridge carpenter who figures in these property transactions, was probably the builder. The Sands House was located within easy walking distance from the brickyard, and was one of the most ostentatious residences in Cambridgeport.

The building offers an interesting contrast to the small workers' cottages of its immediate neighborhood, as well as to the suburban residences of nearby Dana Hill, a middle class development of the same period that drew residents of a more socially and financially secure class. The house carried a mortgage from Abraham Hilliard, another local brickmaker, and in 1854 when Hiram Sands fell into debt and defaulted on his payments, Hilliard acquired the prop- erty. Hilliard's son Joseph inherited the house in 1866, and seven years later it was sold to George C. Howard who also owned two adjacent lots on Green Street. Unlike many other Cambridge houses, the building remained a single family residence until 1975, and its original appearance has survived intact to a remarkable degree.

Following the Sands family tradition, the Putnam Avenue house was erected in brick, which in Cambridge was far less commonly used than wood for residential construction. Putnam Avenue and Green Street sides of the building were faced with pressed brick, which is denser and more uniform than the cheaper, common variety. It is likely that all of the brick used in the Sands House was manufactured in the family's yards across the street. continued

John Sands began at the Cambridge Street claybeds in the 1830's and apparently followed Ivory Sands to Putnam Avenue where he also bought property. Along with several other Putnam Avenue brickmakers, Sands ultimately decided to concentrate his efforts in North Cambridge where a large supply of good brick clay had been discovered. As early as 1845 he had bought claylands near Garden Street and Concord Avenue and continued to con- solidate his holdings there, anticipatingithe shift of the local brick industry to North Cambridge in the 1850's. His son, Martin W. Sands, took over the company in 1880 and carried on the business until around 1900 when it was absorbed by the New England Brick Company. Brickmaking ended in Cambridge in 1952, and the Hiram Sands House is one of the few remnants of this once important industry.
