Detailed with a variety of standard trim, including a dentil cornice, bracketed entry hood, and "diamond"-parallel window enframements, it was intended to be attractive, if modest in size. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community.) Annis Street was one of the first streets in the western section of the Arlington District to experience development.
This residence is representative of the 1½-story gable-roofed worker's cottage seen throughout the western and eastern section of the area. The primary impetus for development of the area was the expansion of the Arlington Mills, immediately to the west along Stevens Pond of the Spicket River. The mills employed thousands of Lawrence and Methuen workers, and owned little operative housing. 13 Annis Street is representative of the inexpensive dwellings built by speculators for sale to woolen mill workers. It is significant as a well preserved example, in an area where there has been considerable demolition and alteration. It possesses integrity of location, setting, design, and workmanship, and meets criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places.
