sheet 1 NTH.641 ___ 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. The Marin House, like many houses built during the first decade of the 20th century in Northampton,
combined architectural elements of both the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. In form it is largely a Queen Anne building with a hipped roof from which project cross-gables on
the south and east, an ell on the west, as well as an attached, three-story polygonal tower at the southeast corner of the building and a hipped wing on the east. It is this asymmetry
combined with variety of volumes that gives the building its Queen Anne designation. A porch on Colonial Revival fluted posts wraps from the east around to the south elevation. Behind
and above the porch are windows with diamond panes and Colonial Revival style vertical muntins in lozenge pattern. The application of vinyl siding has made the historical nature of the
building less apparent. 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 was built at a cost of $6000 in 1909 for L. Raymond Marin, a local physician.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or
