It is.significant as a finely detailed examplé of a Second Empire style cottage and as the home of a local shoe manufacturer. Constructed during Stoneham's greatest period of prosperity, it meets criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places. This was the residence of Lorenzo D. Hawkins, a machinery and shoe manufacturer. He was the owner of this house from construction, ca.
1870, to 1906(and possibly beyond this date). The Hawkins house and barn are among themost finely crafted extant buildings in Stoneham.
