Constructed ca.

1795, the Ozias Goodwin House at 7 Jackson Avenue, Boston, is an attached three story, three bay red brick masonry structure, the street facade of which is located directly on the northwest lot line. A courtyard makes up the balance of the lot, and lies to the southeast (presently the rear elevation of the house). A passageway through the block of the buildings on the northeast side of the Goodwin House affords limited access (locked at present) to the courtyard from Jackson Avenue. There is also a public alley which runs along the southeast perimeter of the lot to connect the courtyard to Charter Street. Across the street (to the northwest of the house) is a city park, Copp's Hill Terraces. Boston's Second Burial Ground is also nearby. The foundation of the house is of granite block, and the load-bearing red brick walls are laid up in common bond.

The house was constructed as the last unit in a group of four structures. The party wall to the southwest is the only physical evidence remaining to indicate this. The present flanking structures are of later, 19th-century vintage. The house has a gable roof with a four brick course cornice as detailing along both eaves. A chimney with four flues is centered at the ridge line, on the northeast side. The present main entrance is located at ground level facing Jackson Avenue and Copps Hill Terraces. This elevation has brownstone window sills on the first and second stories, and three sets of early (Federal style) fixed louvered shutters. The three window bays are of equal proportion, but the first floor right window has been modified from a 6/6 to a 6/3, double-hung sash to allow the insertion of a Greek Revival style entryway immediately below.

The corresponding ground floor window has a brownstone lintel and sill, and is centered on the remaining wall surface. XSee continuation sheet OMB Approvel No. 1024-0018 NPS Form10-000- (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _ Page - Ozias Goodwin House, Boston, MA On the courtyard elevation the three bay division is equal on the ground, second, and third stories. The first story windows are off-set and brick infill is evident around the left window. A door opening is centered partially below grade. All windows have brick sills. A shed dormer with four double-hung sash windows is centered on the roof plane above. The interior plan is very simple, having one room with fireplace and stair hall area per floor. This floor plan has experienced minimal modification.

The greatest changes were made in the stair hall and in the location of the principal entry. Originally, the main entrance was located on the southeast side of the first story, facing the courtyard. Under the ownership of Ammi Cutter the formal orientation of the building was changed to face Jackson Avenue. This involved insertion of a street entrance, infill (with brick and another window) of the courtyard entrance, and modification of the stair hall. The brick infill can be observed quite readily. The lowest portion of the original (courtyard side) stair was removed and a new stair was inserted to connect the new, street entrance to both the ground and first floors. Most interior finish details date from the forty year period between the original construction date of ca. 1795 and ca. 1836.

balusters of the original stairway may have been reused for the new stair, which has early Greek Revival newels. The southwest stairway has a newel an early Victorian pattern. These may have replaced Greek Revival newels complimentary in nature to the ones in the 1820s stairway. Most door and window casings, mouldings, and other wood finish detailing have survived from this intial phase of the building's history. All windows are repl acement 6/6, double-hung sash, as are one pair of movable louver exterior shutters. The North End is a fist-shaped area located at the northernmost part of the Boston peninsula. Bounded on three sides by the Charles River and the waterfront, the North End includes approximately seventy acres of residential development and an additional thirty acres of wharves, mercantile buildings, parks, and playgrounds.

Although much of the North End is low sloping ground with peripheral streets built mostly on filled land, near its northerly edge, the heights of Copp's Hill offer expansive views out to Charlestown and Boston's inner harbor. At its southerly border, the North End is cut off from downtown Boston by the Central Artery, an elevated expressway constructed in the 1950s. NPS Form 10-000-e (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number7 Page _ 2 Ozias Goodwin House, Boston, MA The North End is physically characterized by its intricate and irregular street pattern, its low-rise red brick residential development, and its nationally important buildings and sites associated with Boston's Colonial and Federal periods.

The North End's intact 17th- and 18th-century street pattern distinguishes the area as the only extensive part of the Boston that retains many of its Colonial era streets, ways, and courts. Although the OMB Approvel No. 1024-0018 streets that were established in the 17th century and continue to serve as an important neighborhood thoroughfare. The architectural character of the neighborhood is determined by the reiteration of a basic building form of three-to-five story red brick buildings constructed out to the street line. The North End is very densely developed. (The entire North End neighborhood of approximately 1300 buildings has been identified as potentially eligible for National Register listing.) Most buildings abut their neighbors, and streets typically include inner courts and lanes lined with attached houses.

Within this tightly built-up environment, parks and open spaces include Copp's Hill Burying Ground which dates from 1659 (listed in the National Register) and the neighboring Copp's Hill Terraces (across Jackson Avenue from the Goodwin House) which overlook the river and were constructed in 1896-1897 (01msted, 01msted, and Eliot). The Terraces were developed in conjunction with the North End Beach situated at the water's edge across Commercial Street and now known as North End Park. Potential Archaeological Resources: The Ozias Goodwin house site has never been tested archaeologically. Potential archaeological resources include foundations of outbuildings and wells and deposits of household refuse from the Goodwin and Cutter families, which may be preserved beneath the courtyard. 8. Statement of Significance

Ozias Goodwin House, Boston, Massachusetts Certifying official has considered the significance of this property in relation to other properties: nationally statewide *locally Applicable National Register Criteria Criteria Considerations (Exceptions) Areas of Significance (enter categories from instructions) Architecture Community Planning and Development Period of Significance ca. 1795-1807 Significant Dates Culyral Affliation Signitica/t Person Archiect/Builder State significance of property, and justify criteria, criteria considerations, and areas and periods of significance noted above.

The Ozias Goodwin House is significant as one of Boston's North End neighborhood's few remaining late 18th-century brick residences which retains, to a large degree, integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and fulfils Criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places on the local level. Built ca. 1795 for ship captain Ozias Goodwin, whose family resided there, it provides a reflection of the residential development character at the beginning of the 19th century in an area which today is dominated by brick apartment block development dating from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.

The original setting of the Goodwin House as one of a row of four brick residential structures with similar scale dwellings across Jackson Avenue, has changed with the construction of more recent 19th-century abutting brick structures and the redevelopment of the former residential properties directly across the street into a city park, Copp's Hill Terraces (designed by the firm of Olmsted, 01msted, and Eliot, constructed 1896-1897). Remaining North End Federal style residential buildings range in type from smal1-scale wood frame or brick dwellings such as the Ozias Goodwin House built in the 1790s to more substantial residences and row housing put up during the early decades of the 19th century.

The Boston Landmarks Commission's 1985-1986 historic architectural survey of the North End revealed the following residences dating from the Federal period: 105 and 107 Charter Street (wood frame); Belgravia Place [rear, 19 Charter Street], the Dodd House (190 Salem Street); and row houses at 2-5 Stillman Place, 39 North Bennet Street, 22 and 35 Sheafe Street, and 7 Jackson Avenue.

Sometime before 1789, he relocated in Boston and became involved in the East India Trade.

He was co-owner of the ship Diana by 1790, and also its Master. Goodwin went on to become a part owner of several other ships, including Camillus, Dolphin, and Mary. On Novemember 4, 1784, Ozias married Elizabeth Chapman, daughter of Jonathan and Jemima (Miller) Stone Chapman of Charlestown. Their children were Eliza, Richard, Ozias, George Washington, and John Bray Goodwin. During his years in Boston, Ozias Goodwin served on the Board of Health, Ward #1 (1803), as Overseer of the Poor (1804-1818), as a Fire Warden (1804-1808), and also served on the Board of Directors of the New England Marine Insurance Company (1810-1819). On August 6, 1812, Ozias was appointed to serve on a committee to prepare Boston to protect itself in the event of attack which might come as a result of the impending War of 1812.

On October 20, 1813, he was appointed to a committee to establish a work-house which would also be used as a house of correction, and served as one of its overseers (1814-1817). The following notice, taken from "The New England Palladium" shows the esteem in which Goodwin was held by his fellow citizens: "Died in this town Monday evening last, Ozias Goodwin, Esq., aged 64 years. A valuable citizen and an excellent man, he had been for many years an industrious and honored merchant, has sustained several offices in the town with much credit to himself and utility to society. As an Overseer of the Poor for many years, he exercised a benevolence of heart and attention to the trust, deserving of imitation and gratitude.

By those who knew him best, his merits will be justly appreciated, while everyone who enjoyed his acquaintance will feel the loss of his friendship and council." Jackson Avenue, formerly Sliding Alley, is a five-foot wide alley which ran from Commercial Street, formerly Lynn Street, to the house of Samson Shoare, on Charter Street. In 1794, Ozias Goodwin, by then a ship's captain, purchased a house lot on Jackson Avenue from William and Deborah Darricott. Physical evidence suggests that this house was built on the lot very soon thereafter. According to city directories, the Goodwins lived here until 1807, when they moved "uptown" to Middlecot Street, now Bowdoin Street (Beacon Hill). The family maintained ownership until Goodwin's widow sold the house in 1821 to Ammi Cutter. OMB Approvel No.

1024-0018 NPS Form10-900-8 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number Page. Ozias Goodwin House, Boston, MA Comparisons of city directories and ownership transfers up to the present time indicate that, for much of the house's history, it was not owner-occupied. While this has made difficult the task of learning about the residents of the house after the Goodwin family, this aspect reflects the neighborhood's later cultural history as a center of new immigrants. The first colonials to settle in Boston's North End were merchants who owned property along the waterfront and immediately began enlarging their holdings by building wharves.

North End streets followed the natural contours of the terrain, and the district's three main thoroughfares and many smaller lanes divided the area into large lots. Except for the slopes of Copp's Hill which provided sites for a windmill and the North Burying Ground, at the beginning of the 18th century the North End was densely developed and inhabited by wealthy merchants and shipbuilders who found it convenient to live near their warehouses, wharves, and shipyards. Many of the residences of these merchants and artisans were constructed of red brick and were considerably more substantial and well-appointed than the frame structures of the previous century. During the 18th century, North Square (then one block inland from the wharves) became the social and economic center of Boston. Many of Boston's wealthiest citizens established themselves there.

The dual activities of shipbuilding and mercantile operations were constantly expanding along the North End waterfront, and many of the wealthiest North End families made their fortunes through commerce on the seas. Through the 1750s and 1760s, the North End's taverns were important as meeting places for the spread and development of revolutionary activity. Following the Revolution, the stature of the North End declined as prosperous citizens moved to the Fort Hill section (now in the city's central business district), the West End, and later to Beacon Hill, while wealthy loyalists fled to Canada. By the close of the 18th century, the North End was a neighborhood of smal1 merchants, tradesmen, and artisans. The North End always had been Boston's center for the important shipping and mercantile trade.

Industrial and commercial growth brought more warehouses, more dockyards, more sailors and transients to the area, which in turn, created a less desireable neighborhood for those who could afford to live elsewhere. By the mid-19th century, many of the North End's colonial mansions and houses were torn down. Brick row housing and commercial blocks were put up along the older as well as more recently developed streets and contributed to the dense building fabric of this urbanizing neighborhood. OMB Approvel No. 1024-0018 NPS Form 10-900- (8-66) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _8 Page - Ozias Goodwin House, Boston, MA The North End's position as a location for Boston's immigrants began in the 1820s with the arrival of the Irish whose numbers continued to increase until around 1880.

The Irish began to move out of the North End at the same time that large numbers of Polish and Russian Jews were arriving in Boston. A cohesive Jewish community did not develop in the North End until the late 1890s, and by the 1920s, most of the Jewish residents had moved on to other areas of the city. The neighborhood began to be the center of the city's thy 20s Italian immigrants during the last third of the nineteenth century. The neighborhood's population peaked to a high of about 36,000 residents during the 1920s, when 90% of the population was of Italian descent. During the 1930s, the North End's population decreased sharply, and by 1940, the number had dropped to about 17,600. During the 1880s through the 1910s, early buildings that remained, particularly those of brick construction, often were altered for low-income multi-family occupancy.

It was not unusual for North End builders to re-use earlier brick houses, and extensive remodellings, erection of new fronts, and additions of extra stories created a substantial increase in housing units for the district's increasing immigrant populations. Wood frame construction, by the end of the 19th century, was replaced by brick apartments frequently with basement or ground floor shops. neighborhood. In more recent years, with aninflux of generally affluent new residents, North End families have come into competition with a new wave of settlers seeking affordable housing in an attractive and stable neighborhood. addition, extensive rehabilitation of historical wharf and industrial buildings in the adjacent waterfront area for luxury apartments and fashionable offices has changed the social and economic base of the North End.

Significance of potential archaeological resources: Archaeological deposits representing the high status Goodwin household may be significant locally and regionally. They may provide important information about the architecture and use of the site during the late 18th and early 19th century. No other archaeological resources from this type of site in Boston's North End have ever been reported on.
