UTM: 19)32375014696920 (Staple additional sheets here) ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the conmunity.) Alterations afid additions were made to the house ca. 1923, but it retains much of its Greek Revival-style detailing, including colonnaded porch on front and side and 6/9 Length windows. The rear of the property retains a 19th century carriage house. Phitull- silver maple and copper beech trees in the house's front yard, undoubtedly planted at the house 's, construction, remain among Arlington's finest ancient trees.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the cormmity.) Marketman JohnP. Squire built two houses on-lots now known as 2-7 and 13 Winter Street between 1847 and 1865, but he may have never occupied them himself. These lots were orginally described as a subdivision on a plan entitled "Valuabie House Lots in West Cambridge" , drawn by D.A. Granger and referred to in deeds dated June- 1847: These. lots seem to have been part of a five -houselot parcel assembled by John P. Squire of Boston, a trader who purchased the lots in three transactions from the original owners during 1847-1849. All three deeds mention crops standing and harvest privileges but none mention buildings. By October 1864, John P.
Squire had moved to West Cambridge and had sold the five-lot parcel, with buildings, to William and Nancie Kimball. It.is probable that neither Squire nor the Kimballs occupied any of the houses; rather, the houses were probably rented or leased. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION The W.W: Kimball House retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. It fulfills criteria A and C of Nationad Register of Historic Places as awell-preserved example of the Greek Revival style and as a reflection of Arlington's early suburbanization.
