Doran, Thomas F., Three-Decker
About this property
The Thomas F. Doran Three-Decker is an historic three-decker in Worcester, Massachusetts. The wood-frame building was built c. 1894, and is one a few well-preserved Stick style three-deckers in the city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The Thomas F. Doran Three-Decker is located in a densely built residential area west of downtown Worcester, on the south side of John Street between North Ashland and Wesby Streets. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a mostly clapboarded exterior. It has molding strips between the floors, and a hip roof with bracketed eaves. The front facade has a projecting square bay whose gable end contains spindle woodwork in a sunburst pattern. The porch is also decorated with a spindled frieze and brackets. Its sash windows are framed by bracketed sills and lintels. The house was built about 1894, during a westward push of triple-decker development in the city which began to penetrate into the more fashionable and upper-class western residential parts of the city. Early residents were typically Irish, and either white-collar or skilled blue-collar laborers. Thomas Doran, its first owner, was stage manager at a local theater, and also owned an adjacent house. Early tenants included a laborer and a gas station operator.
