Norwood's Craigin-Briggs home! 21 Walpole Street is architecturally significant as a major, although slightly altered example of the Colonial Revival style in Norwood. It ranks among the more stylish and substantial houses built during the town's turn of the century building boom. Particularly noteworthy are its massing, design & siting. It is characterized by a boxy main block which is enclosed by a distinctive, steeply pitched hip roof. Situated on the eastern slopes of Beacon Hill, this house is set back from Walpole Street facing a broad lawn - all in a commanding presence on the edge of Norwood's Commercial district. 21 Walpole Street's site is historically significant as the former location of the old Congregational parsonage which was built as early as 1736. 21 Walpole Street was built ca.1895-1898 by Dr. Francis M. Craigin and was later owned by Charles A. Briggs, a wholesale confectioner & baker who had an ice cream parlor at Norwood Cntr. OFFERS DUE SUNDAY10/26 @5PM - 48 hrs
