sheet 1 NTH.1061 _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-and-a-half story home with front gable roof. On the western elevation of the home
is a two-and-a-half story bay with front gable roof. On the eastern elevation of the home is a shed roof dormer. Eaves of the front gable and bay gable make partial returns. Extending
across the full width of the front façade is a hipped roof porch with rounded columns. Unfortunately, one of the home’s most distinguishing features has been lost since the home was
first inventoried in 1980. On the eastern elevation had been a two-story porch that offered views of the Connecticut River Valley. The first story was enclosed after 1980 and the second
story, which is much smaller than the first story, is now screened. Windows on the house have replacement one over one sash and replacement surrounds. Windows on the front of the house
are asymmetrically arranged. The house has one small brick chimney on the ridge of the roof. The property includes a one story carriage house or barn in the rear. 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 large two and a half story house was built shortly after a plan was filed for Madison Avenue in 1910. The house is located on the southern side of the street
at the easterly end.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton in the County
