sheet 1 NTH.589 ___ 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 one of a substantial number of carriage barns remaining with their homes on Elm Street
and dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. It is one of the few converted to a two-family house. The two-story building has a hipped roof with a front, two-and-a-half story,
cross-gable and a one-story wing on the west. Adjacent to the cross-gable is a three-sided bay window with 6/6 and 8/8 sash. The two-bay, front-gable section has a pair of entries on
its north elevation and pairs of 6/6 sash windows in the second bay. A Colonial Revival style oval oculus window is in its gable field. The first story of the building is clapboard and
the second story is shingled, which probably represents the original siding. 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 1977: “The property at 300 Elm Street was purchased by Harvey
Antil in 1939. Antil converted the large barn on the property into a two family dwelling. In 1973, he sold the house at 300 and the front half of the lot, retaining access to Elm Street.
In approximately 1950, he put a small addition on the building.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan
