07 2-Jackson Homestead
NEWTON PUBLIC BUILDINGS SURVEY PHASE II – ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Building Analysis Jackson Homestead Address: 527 Washington Street Year of Construction: 1809 Level of Significance: High Individually listed building on the National Register of Historic Places, 1973. Recommended Treatment Level: Preservation Phase II: Analysis of Historically Significant City Buildings, Newton, Massachusetts Jackson Homestead DRAFT 2/17/2012 PART 1 - Analysis of Historical Significance Building History The Jackson Homestead, or Timothy Jackson House, is a well-preserved building in the Federal Style originally constructed in 1809 as a private residence. The building is located on an approximately 1- acre site off Washington Street in Newton Corner and has many typical features of its style and region, including a strictly symmetrical front façade with 6-over-6 wood window sashes and paired chimneys, a low hipped roof, and an elliptical fanlight set within an elaborate door surround. Like many Federal buildings in New England the building has clapboard siding at the primary façade with end walls constructed of brick. The rear elevation is clad with wood shingles. Edward Jackson (1602-1681), one of the first setters and largest landowners in what is now Newton, acquired the land that would later be the Homestead’s site. In 1670 he built a house at the location of the present building for his son, Sebas, who moved into the house after his marriage in 1671. The original structure was a south-facing saltbox house 22 feet long and 18 feet wide. Either Sebas or his son Joseph later added an additional 17 feet to one end of the structure.

GT Field Trip Assignment
Name: _________________________________________ Period: _______ Date: ____________________ “History is the witness that testifies to the passing of times; it illuminates reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity [ancient times]. The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth. The second is that he shall suppress nothing that is true. Moreover, there shall be no suspicion of partiality [bias] in his writings, or of malice [cruelty].” -- Cicero (106-43 B.C.E.) The study of history is complex. Knowing what happened in the past is only half the task. We also need to understand how history is recorded, preserved, and presented. Who wrote down the events? Was this person an eyewitness to the account? Did he/she have a bias or a reason to embellish or omit details? These types of questions need to be asked to have a full understanding of the past. This school year we will use a variety of sources, primary as well as secondary, to not only learn the facts, but the process of history. Visiting a historical site is an exciting way to explore this process. By April 12, 2018 you must visit one site and complete an evaluation of your visit. Below is a list of sites you may select from. If you cannot make an actual visit you may pick a site from the Virtual Tour list. If you would like to tour a site not on either list you must get preapproval from Ms. Apple. The site must be focused on American history and fit in the timeframe between the colonial period and 1877 (the end of Reconstruction).
