sheet 1 NTH.260 ___ 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 house is typical of much of the workers’ housing that was built in the second half of the
19th century for Northampton’s industries. It is one-and-a-half stories in height and is gable-and-wing in plan with a front-gabled section that is two-bays wide and a wing that is two
bays long. A shed roofed porch crosses the wing and is supported on Italianate styled, chamfered posts with brackets at the eaves. The house has an ell on the rear and an added side
deck on the south elevation. Sash is replacement 1/1. There is a chimney located at the intersection of the two roof ridge poles. The roof has relatively wide eaves that are thinly boxed
– both features of the Italianate style. 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: “Hinckley Street first appears on the 1873 Atlas, and was named after Samuel Hinckley, the organizer
of the Northampton Cutlery Company. By 1873, there were about a dozen houses located along the street between Main Streets (now Riverside Drive) and Nonotuck Street.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or
