sheet 1 NTH.2017 ___ Recommended for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. If checked, you must attach a completed National Register Criteria Statement form. Use as much
space as necessary to complete the following entries, allowing text to flow onto additional continuation sheets. ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: Describe architectural features. Evaluate
the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a one-and-a-half story, raised Cape that is set sideways on its lot like its neighbor at
9 Cherry Street. It is a side-gable roof that is slate-covered and a center chimney. The clapboard-sided house has had its façade fenestration altered so that it is now asymmetrical
with three openings and blind center bay. The house is two bays deep and has clipped gable ends. It has has cornerboards and flat stock window surrounds. A wing on the south elevation
is composed of two parts: a one-and-a-half story section with a one-story attached section on the west. A full width porch is on the west façade of the main block of the house. It has
turned posts and brackets at the eaves and a square baluster railing, so is likely a Queen Anne addition as are the 2/2 window sash. On the larger wing is a shed roof dormer. A novelty-sided
studio and a potting shed are in the yard. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building,
and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. From the Form B of 1980, “Cherry and Union Streets were laid out during the 1820s through the Colonial homestead on
Market Street. These homesteads had extended easterly to the burying ground and both of these streets did likewise. The 1831 map shows four houses on each street, and this house is probably
shown. The house was owned by absentee landlords until the early 1890s when Louis Remillard, a blacksmith, purchased the house and made it his homestead. “ BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES
