National Register of Historic Places - Null House

Statement of Significant: The significance of 1037 Hillen Street derives from its architecture: residence of wooden frame construction, it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type and period of construction rarely found in central Baltimore today. Built in the late 1700s, it is a rare specimen of the early wooden clapboard building, a type which was common in pre- and post-Revolutionary Baltimore, but was prohibited by ordinance from being constructed after 1812. Because of its easily recognizable wood construction and its minimally altered front facade, this building is one of the city's best remaining examples of early wooden frame construction, as well as one of its last. Fewer than fifty buildings that exhibit visible early wood frame construction remain in the city today. That 1037 Hillen Street is a row-end dwelling with an exposed wooden side wall adds further to its rarity and sets it apart from other early wooden houses extant in central Baltimore.
