sheet 1 NTH.58 ___ 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. Like the overwhelming majority of Queen Anne houses in Northampton, this example has a hipped roof.
It has cross gables on the south and east and a wrap around porch that covers both south façade and east elevation. The porch rests on posts with brackets at its eaves. Windows have
1/1 sash under lintels with projecting cornices. The house is clapboard sided, but there are shingles in its gable ends, as was the fashion for the Queen Anne style. A one-story wing
on the west is a later addition. 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 house was built around the turn of the century on a short, dead end street off North Main Street
in Florence. The house is located at the edge of the Mill River terrace and has a sweeping view of the Florence meadows which extend north and south on both sides of the river.” BIBLIOGRAPHY
