sheet 1 NTH.377 ___ 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. The J. Deady House was built by 1895 and is a large, two-and-a-half story house with a front-gable
roof and a substantial cross-gable bay on the east elevation. The main block of the house is three bays wide and is traversed on the north by a full-width, hipped roof porch that rests
on relatively heavy posts that have narrow molding bands below scroll-cut brackets. Elements of this this porch are repeated on the cross-gable bay where a secondary porch crosses the
north façade. It has a balustrade on its roof made of square-cut balusters between posts. This house had been vinyl sided and had its windows replaced so it has lost some of its historical
character but its slate roof and two tall chimneys testify to its original solid construction and its porches suggest that it was well-ornamented ca. 1895. 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 large, clapboard house was built early in the twentieth century on a short street laid out for subdivision by Myron Day in 1886.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES
