House at 60 William Street is a historic home actually located at 19 Jefferson Street in the Newton Corner village of Newton, Massachusetts -- the mismatched address comes from how it is listed in Massachusetts cultural inventory and National Register records. Built in 1850, it is a well-preserved, modest example of an Italianate wood-frame house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
the building
L-shaped plan and corner tower. The 2 1/2-story wood-frame house is laid out in an L-shape, with a three-story tower rising at the crook of the L. Italianate details include the tower's shallow-pitch hip roof and paired round-arch windows on its top level.
the style
The house is a modest, well-preserved example of Italianate styling, expressed mainly through its corner tower -- the shallow hip roof and paired round-arch windows at the top are the style's clearest signatures here.
