J.A. Noyes House
Historic house in Massachusetts, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The J.A. Noyes House is an historic house at 1 Highland Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide with a gambrel roof and clapboard siding. The second floor hangs slightly over the first floor in a reminder of the early colonial garrison style. The main entrance is flanked by short sidelight windows and topped by a narrow semi-oval fanlight. A rounded bay projects to the left of the entrance, and gabled dormers pierce the roof. The house was built in 1894 to design by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow and is a well-kept example of Colonial Revival architecture; the yard was originally landscaped by Charles Eliot. The house is significant in part for the survival of its construction documentation.[2]
