The Timothy Hoxie House, built in 1854, is located in the Mission Hill section of Roxbury on the north side of Hillside Street, mid-block between Darling and Sachem. Occupying a narrow trapezoidal lot of 3,88l square feet, which drops off sharply at the rear, the Hoxie House occupies a praminent site on high ground at the top of the street. Originally located across the way on the upland (even numbered) stretch of Hillside Street and deeply set back on a double lot of 51,400 square feet, the Hoxi e House was moved to its present location between 1884 and 1888. A subs tantial wood frame L-plan Italianate Villa with a boxy, rectangular-plan rear extension, the Hoxie House displays 2-story side and front-facing low gabled roof sections, which abut respectively, at the left and right, a tall 3-story, pyramidally roofed, squarish tower set almost at the center of the building's main facade.

Occupying the first floor of the tower, the street-facing entry, now with blocked-up transom and sidelights, is distinguished by its broad panelled, pilastered enframements and projecting corniced hood supported by robust, blocky scroll consoles. Apparently added early in the house's history, the sizeable three-story. three-bay rear extension with hipped roof is set on a high Roxbury pudd ings tone basement and includes along its left side, almost floor-to-ceiling, first floor windows sheltered by a chamfered post porch with flattened arched bays. A similarly designed but more modestly scaled porch extends across the left frant of the house. Emphatic blocky scroll-bracketed cornices are used throughout at overhanging rooflines, on porches, and at bay windows.

Round-arched fenestration, often with paired windows and with molded trim and sometimes enhanced with panelled detail, is apparent along the second floor, on the third floor of the tower, on the second and third floors of the rear extension, and on the single-story bays at the left side and right frant of the house.

The Timo thy Hoxie House is of major significance as the only Italianate Villa in the Mission Hill area and as one of the relatively few intact examples of this style remaining in the city of Boston.

Built in 1854, the house retains much of its original, distinctive stylistic features and characteristic robust detail, and is a notable mid-19th century residence associated with Mission Hill's early suburbanization. Praminently located on high ground, 135 Hillside Street is a landmark of the Mission Hill neighborhood, much of which is now characterized by its dense concentration of 1890s-1910s triple decker hous ing. In addition, the Hoxie House is locally important as one of only two substantially intact residences (along with 139 Hillside Street, a well-preserved, Gothic Revival cottage, that has no historical significance to the adjacent nominated property, but appears to be individually eligible in its own right) developed as part of the ambitious 1845 Highland Place subdivision on Mission Hill's nor thwest slope.

The Hoxie House retains integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and meets criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places at the local level . Initiated by Boston mason Thamas C. Wait and his partner, carpenter Greenleaf C. Sanborn, Highland Place was laid out by surveyor Alexander Wadsworth and was approximately bounded by what became Huntington Avenue, Parker Hill Avenue, and Sachem Street. Stimulated by the establishment in the mid-1840s ofna tho iy Crand ifla comubar cai imad stati ton tho do included about 20,000 square feet. Deed restrictions for development at Highland Place were designed to insure the neighborhood's respectability and speci fied that no mechanic shops or other structures "objectionable to genteel buildings" were to be put up for at least 20 years. On April 1, 1854, Timothy W.

Hoxie, a Boston Cammission merchant and Beacon Hill resident, purchased lots 25 and 45 fram Thomas Wait, who no longer was in par tnership with Greenleaf Sanborn. By the end of that year, Hoxie was residing at Highland Place in the Italianate Villa now located at 135 Hillside The villa remained Hocie's residence fran 1854 until his death in Active as a Hoxioctiyenyprmartoybered bas iosntsandagonteeoutrite d materials including cements, plasters, and fire brick and tile. continued NPS Form 10,000e (8-86) OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 7/2//87 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Timothy Hoxie House, Boston, Massachusatts Section number . Page .

After Hoxie's death, his residence was relocated across Hillside Street between 1884 and 1888, probably to acconmodate the cutting-through of upper Sachem Street, and the villa became the hame of carpenter/contractor John Cantwel1 and his family. Cantwell and other family members who lived next door in the Gothic Revival cottage at 139 Hillside were responsible for the cons truction of triple decker housing on adjacent lots along Darling and Sachem Streets. By the late 1890s, part of the lot at 135 Hillside was further subdivided, and in 1899, the Cantwells designed and built the Queen Anne triple deckers at 17 and 19 Sachem Street. The Hoxie House remains in residential use today, subdivided into apartments.

Archaeological potential: The Timothy Hoxi e House was moved to its present location in 1884-1888, and expected archaeological resources would be restricted to deposits of household refuse of the Cantwell family and later occupants. These data would be of limited research or scientific signi ficance. .
