sheet 1 NTH.389 ___ 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 modest house stylistically, as are many of its neighbors, and its strongest Italianate
feature is the arched window in its gable field. It is two-and-a-half stories high under a front-gable roof. The house is three bays wide and the equivalent of five bays deep for a long,
rectangular plan. It has a full-width porch across the south façade that rests on posts and has a square baluster railing. Windows and doors have simple flat-stock surrounds and window
sash is replacement vinyl 1/1. With these alterations, there is little stylistic detail remaining, but the house contributes to its 19th century neighborhood. 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
Form B of 1980: “In 1886, Myron Day filed a subdivision plan for his street and residential lots on both sides. Later that same year, Henry and Dena Warner bought lot no. 9 for $350.
The lot remained undeveloped however, and they sold it to Benjamin Cook and his son, Benjamin Cook, Jr., for $400 in 1887. The Cooks were prominent developers in Northampton and the
son had just finished his stint as the city’s first mayor. In 1889, lot no. 9, with this house, was sold to the Keatings for $1700.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County
