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: The western side of Hawley St. remained
undeveloped until the mid 1850's. Pleasant Brook, a feeder system of the Mill River, crossed Bridge St. just east of Market St. and ran southerly between the railroad and Hawley St.,
before crossing the railroad near Holyoke St. and eventually emptying into the Mill River near the present day intersection of Pleasant St. and Hockanum Rd, During the last third of
the 19th century the stream was culverted and eventually covered over to provide more land for development. By the turn of the 20th century there were three industries: Northampton Beef
Co. and Joseph Hebert Lumber Yard near Bridge St., and Belding Bros & Co. Silk Mill near Holyoke St., with eight houses between them. This house was probably built during the l860's
and features a steeply-pitched gable with an oculus in the apex. The windows have plain surrounds and six over six sashes. A one-story entry porch wraps around the southern side to the
projecting bay window, and is composed of turned posts, a balustrade and lattice base. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York,
