ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community. The house at 10 Arlignton Street is notable as well-preserved example of a Transitional Itallanate/Queen Anne style residence. The gableroofed, 2 1/2 story sidehall form was favored by builders in the Italiante mode during the 1870s and 1880s. Italianate decorative features include the paired cornice brackets and hood or drip moldings above the windows. Queen Anne decorative elements include the use of patterned wood shingles, the robust turned porch posts, and the rising sun motif in the porch gable, symbolizing the optimism of the period during which the house was built. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community.
This building, reflecting the transition from Italianate to Queen Anne as the city's most popular late 19th century architectural style, is representative of the last major type of single family house to be constructed in East Somerville.
