sheet 1 NTH.2508 ___ 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 duplex at 9-11 Glendale Avenue, is modestly in the Panel Brick style, a Queen Anne building
constructed in brick using brick ornamentally laid, tarred and mixed with terra cotta to create in masonry the visual liveliness of a frame Queen Anne house with shingles, clapboards
and other trim. Like its neighbors, however, at 1-3 and 15, the brick ornamentation is relatively scant suggesting the builder was conscious of the trend in architecture away from ornament
to cleaner lines, geometric shapes and simpler forms. This house is nearly square in plan under a hipped roof with a single front dormer. It is three bays wide and the equivalent of
five bays deep and has a two-story, stacked porch in its center entry bay. The porch has been stucco-covered. The brick of the main block of the building has stringcourses of tarred
bricks that also cross above the segmentally arched windows as lintels. Sash in the windows is a characteristic 2/2. 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, which covered both
9-11 and 1-3 Glendale Avenue: “These two duplex houses were built around the turn-of-the-century on a short street north of Round Hill. Daniel Lynch, a mason and builder who lived on
Crescent Street just just up the hill from here was the probable builder. His own residence is of brick with similar detailing. There’s also a four tenement, brick block on this street
that Mr. Lynch probably constructed.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton
