sheet 1 NTH.1087 __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-story clapboard sided Italianate home with a truncated hipped roof. On the eastern
and western elevations of the home is a shallow two-story wing with jerkin head roof from which projects two story Italianate paneled bay. The form of this house, then, is in the shape
of a cross. Beneath the eaves is a molded cornice with dentils and wide friezeboard. The front of the home features a gabled wall dormer framed by bargeboards with quatre-foil cut outs.
Within the gable field of the wall dormer is a peaked two over two sash window with full entablature. A one-story Queen Anne style porch extends across the full width of the front façade
and continues on the eastern side to the two story wing. The porch has arched spandrels that connect to turned posts, a spindle frieze and an elaborately carved balustrade below which
is a matching apron. The porch has been screened in and the additional posts are present for this purpose. The front entry has a wide two light transom and a very narrow set of sidelights.
Most of the windows are two over two sash with architrave surrounds topped with projecting cornices on almost flat consoles. The home has two elaborated brick chimneys. Extending from
the northeastern corner of the home is one-story addition that appears to be a modern sun room. The property includes a circa 1920s garage. 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:
“In 1881 Dwight Graves and Silas Cooley, Main Street tobacco dealers, bought all the land on the north side of High Street (now Lyman Road) east of Silas Cooley’s homestead (number 36
Lyman Rd.). During the 1880's, Graves and Cooley sold this land off as homestead lots. This lot was kept by Mr. Graves and by 1884 the house was built.” Like many of the single family
homes on this street, this house was converted to a two family home in the 20th century. However, it was converted back to a single family home in the 1990s. Dan & Joan Haugaard owned
the house in the 1980. Jonathan and Diane Harr have owned the house since 1981. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales,
