sheet 1 NTH.302 ___ 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 one-and-a-half story house that is gable-and-wing in form. The gable section is two bays
wide and the wing is two bays wide and one deep with a polygonal bay on its west elevation under a polygonal roof. In the angle between the two sections is a shed roof porch. A small
addition on the east rests on concrete block foundations. Now vinyl-sided, the small house has little architectural detailing to help identify its age and original appearance. 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: “Fifth Avenue was laid out between Franklin and Massasoit Streets in 1899. The southern corner of Fifth Avenue and Massasoit Street had a triangular
lot and wasn’t developed until the mid 1920’s. At that time, this small cottage was fitted to the lot. The first known owner and occupant was Patrick Grogan, a fireman for Butler and
Ullman’s greenhouses, which were located on the other side of Massasoit Street.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873.
