the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. The Warner House is among the most elegant of Northampton’s Colonial Revival style houses. Its
design is based on Charles Bulfinch’s Federal townhouses for Boston’s Beacon Hill with a center entry flanked by two rounded bays. It is two and a half stories high and its center entry
is sheltered by a two-story oval porch under a shed roof with an attached pediment that rests on paired, fluted Doric columns. Each entablature of the porch has a classical dentil row.
A watertable and beltcourse separate the stories, and there is a broad frieze below the cornice, and eaves with double fillets. On the hipped roof are three front-gabled dormers. HISTORICAL
