Constructec in 1878, it is a full two story house with a l-shaped plan, occupying a corner lot Just behind Main Street. Stylistic teatures include open bracketed porches, a bracketed cornice, gable screens, paneled pilasters and oriel windows. The house rests on a granite foundation, is covered with clapboards and is enclosed by a patterned slate roof.
Windows contain 2/2 sash and the entry contains a double door. This residence is representative of the homes of the second generation of shoe manufacturers in Stoneham. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community) The Thomas W. Jones 'House possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, and workmanship. It is significant as Stoneham's finest example of the Second Empire style and for its associations with one of Stoneham's prominent local shoe magnates. Constructed during Stoneham's greatest period of prosperity, the Jones House meets criteria A, B, and C of the National Register of Historic Places. The Jones House was built by John Spencer, a local housewright and also builder of a number of frame-construction shoe factories, including Jones'.
Thomas Jones built the last large shoe factory in Stoneham on Franklin Street in 1890. His Company, the T.H. Jones firm, manufactured women and children's shoes and employed approximately 275 persons. Jones began his shoe career in the factory and shoe store of Allen Rowe and Son in 1850. Lincölnville, as this residential area west of Main Street was long known, was not built up until the early 1880s. Prior to the construction of houses on standard lots, the area was dominated by a few large estates. Jones was the last man of wealth to build here, although Lincolnville developed with attractive Queen Anne Style houses. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES W.
