DIM REFERENCE 19/329610/4708680 USCS QUADRANGLEBeading,.MA SCALE 1:25,000 Recorded by Architectural Preseryation Associates Organization Wakefteld Histroical Commission Date Maroh, 1985 NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable) This house is a well preserved example of the gable end, side hall plan house form popular in the mid 19th century, and possesses a wealth of e taling interesting Italianate detailing. It retains integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and meets criterion C of the NRHP on the local level. ARCHITECIURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community. This robust, lively Italianate dwelling may in fact be a remodeling of an earlier house.

It has generous proportions, and has been extended to the rear repeatedly. Interestingly, its jerkin-head gable roof appears to date from the Italianate remodeling, suggesting that this was late in the period, perhaps about 1870. This house takes the popular gable end to the street with a side hall plan form, adds high style long windows and a gay narrow porch with chamfered pillars supporting a flat arched frieze. The deeply plastic enclosed portico, set somewhat awkwardly into the porch, has squat paneled pilasters, a tall glass filled arch, and more decorative brackets. The barn, now attached by additions, is said to date from the 1750s, but has been remodeled at the same period as the house.

As pictured in the Proceedings of the 250th Anniversary of the Town of Reading volume of HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state histöry and how the building relates to the development of the community. 1896, it was painted with contrasting trim. This may have been the house of John S. Eaton, State Representative in 1858, Selectmen in 1863, and member of the large, public spirited tribe of Eatons who were early settlers of the town. By 1869 William F. Young was living here; it was probably Young who gave the house the Italianate 1ook. Young was an early commuter to Boston, where he - worked for a grocery firm, probably as an executive. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES maps 1857, J. Eaton 1874, W.F.
