sheet 1 NTH.376 ___ 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 Queen Anne style house with more elaboration than many of its neighbors. It is two-and-a-half
stories in height under a front-gable roof with a two-and-a-half story wing on its east elevation for a gable-and-wing form. The gable section of the house is two-bays wide on the first
story with a three-sided bay window adjacent to the main entry to the house. The wing is the equivalent of two bays wide and is one bay deep. A porch extends from the main entry to cross
the wing. It is on turned posts with scroll-cut brackets at the eaves and has a lively jigsaw-cut railing. As is the case with many Queen Anne style buildings, its lower stories are
clapboard sided while its gable field is shingle-sided to create a visually active exterior. Sash in the windows is replacement 1/1. 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: “This 2 ½
story, L-shaped house was constructed in the late 1880’s. Myron Day, a Northampton farmer, purchased the homestead of James W. Clark on Bridge Street. In 1886, he filed a subdivision
plan for lots off of a new street to be called Beacon. The name was changed to Day Avenue to avoid confusion with Beacon Street in the Florence section of Northampton. In 1888, Day sold
Adelard Adelard Dauphinais 3 lots on the north side of the street for $700. Dauphinais was a carpenter and probably built all three houses, reserving this house for himself. His son,
Adelard Jr., also a carpenter, occupied another house on Day Avenue (no. 25 in 1895), and Wilfred Dauphinais, a carpenter of unknown relation to Adelard, occupied still another house
on the north side of Day Avenue (no. 17 in 1895).” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town
