sheet 1 NTH.2156 _X__ 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 two-and-a-half story home with front gable roof that faces north onto Hancock Street.
The home was built to the Italianate style and originally had large double brackets under the eaves according to the Inventory Form of 1980. Most of the Italianate style features have
been lost although the current owner of the home has restored the home to its original clapboard siding and possibly reinstated an Italianate style porch. The two-bay front façade with
large picture window with leaded transom was not uncommon for Northampton Italianate style homes. On the eastern and western elevation of the home are matching Italianate style two-story
bays. The original windows have been replaced and are now a mix of one over one sash and six over six sash. 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 house appears to have been moved
from the southeastern corner of Hawley and Hancock Streets. In 1886, a subdivision plan was filed for the H.O. Apthorp estate which extended across the entire southern side of Hancock
Street from Hawley Street to Williams Street. The Apthorp house is shown on the 1884 Atlas, well set back and facing Hawley Street, however it is not there on the 1895 Atlas. The house
at 19 19 Hancock Street, which is first shown on its site on the 1895 Atlas, seems to stylistically date from a much earlier period than the 1886 subdivision. H.O. Apthorp Hawley Street
house is first shown on the 1860 Map.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton
