Date 5/81: rev. by H,White 3/86 NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable) The Bartlett/Hawkes farmstead is Waban's only intact Federal period structure, and with its 19th and 20th. c. changesit illustrates a progression oi styles and technology in American domestic architecture; it therefore meets Criterion C of the National Register of Historic Places. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.
Available data suggests that the earliest part of the Bartlett/Hawkes farmstead is the three-bay southern section. It was built as a half house with a saltbox profile roof. The chimney is located behind the ridge and a dog leg stair stands between the entrance and the chimney mass. Eventually the house was extended two bays on the north elevation, giving it the appearance of a five-bay center entrance house. The entrance has sidelights and panelled pilasters flanking it, and appears to date from the late Federal period. Circa 1915 a lean-to was added to the west elevation; HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community. Ebenezer Bartlett (b. early 1700s) was a member of the third generation of his family to reside in Newton. He married Anne Clark in 1736 and had 17 children.
It is thought that the earliest section of the house was built at the time of Bartlett's marriage. Elisha Bartlett (b.1753) bought the 100 acre farmstead from his father in 1788, for a sum of 400 pounds. Elisha married Sarah Beals, and his oldest son Peregrine (b.1794) sold the farm in the early 1850s to George B. Hawkes, a local farmer. The family landholdings were vast, and by 1800 exceeded 200 acres. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Francis Jackson. History of Newton. Boston, 1854. Newton Vital Records. Jackson Map.
