Architectural Description
The Jones Road Area encompasses a narrow dead-end street off Boston Post Road in the central “village” area of Weston. The area includes 7 houses on a total of 1.82 acres of flat land. Houses are small, ranging from 1,188 to 2,587 square feet, on lots ranging from 1-fifth to 1-third of an acre. The houses represent typical working class houses and have a minimum of architectural detail. Many of the houses have their original small 1-car garage. Because houses are relatively consistent in size, massing and setbacks, the area has a general feeling of cohesiveness.
The earliest house on the street, the Eugene and Anna L. White House at 9 Jones Road (1923-24, MHC 1000, Map #1, Photo #1), is a simple gable-front house with a 1-story porch across the front. This house type is common in Weston and is often referred to as “farmhouse” style. Both the main roof and porch roof have wide overhanging eaves with open or “show” rafters.
