In 1895 architect E.H. Hammond designed this two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house for William Wainwright as a home for two families. As first built it had a three-sided angular bay at the center of the front and a small Palladian-style window lighting the attic, according to the 1980 Longwood landmarks report.

1980
Aluminum siding and a concrete wall change the look of the Wainwright house
Read more
The commission's 1980 survey found the Hammond-designed house much altered by aluminum siding. Its entrance, to the right of the bay, sat under a hip-roofed porch closed in with ornamental iron grillwork, and the concrete wall along the front was noted as a later addition.
“Aluminum siding has considerably altered the original appearance of the structure ... The concrete wall that fronts the house is a later addition.”
