sheet 1 NTH.263 ___ 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 Panel Brick style house, the masonry version of the Queen Anne. It is two-and-a-half
stories in height under a front-gable roof with cross gable bays on the north and south elevations and a gabled bay window attached to the east façade. The gable fields are shingled
to add visual appeal to the surface of the building. A porch on turned posts with brackets at the eaves and an ornamental railing wraps from the east façade around to the south elevation.
The brick building earns its Panel Brick designation with the corbelling that forms the lintels of the segmentally arched windows and forms a panel between first and second stories on
the east bay then becomes a stringcourse that encircles the building. Some of the windows in the house are 1/1 replacements, but a Queen Anne style window with a multi-light transom
remains. With its carriage barn, this house is a reminder of the appearance of Jackson Street at the end of the 19th century. 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 1975: “This brick
residence was built on Jackson (Hinckley) Street sometime after 1882 when Otis Maynard sold the parcel of land on which it stands to Jeremiah Twohy. Jackson Street was developed in the
mid-nineteenth century and contains numerous dwellings whose simplicity and variety of outbuildings suggest an agricultural background.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County
