the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a one-and-one-half story bungalow with a side gabled roof. Characteristic of the bungalow
house form, the roof is low-pitched and extends over the eaves on the sides of the house. There is a front gabled dormer with paired four over one windows. On the western elevation of
the home, there is a through cornice brick chimney. On both the western and eastern elevations of the the home is an oriel. The house also has a full width front porch that is contained
under the main roof of the home. The porch is supported by four brick pillars. When this house was added to Northampton’s Inventory in 1975, the front porch was screened; however it
is now fully enclosed with vinyl siding. Other changes that have occurred since 1975 include the vinyl siding, which replaced wood shingle cladding and replacement windows. The property
includes a small one bay garage with pyramidal roof and pressed concrete block cladding. 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: “The tract of land on which this bungalow was
conveyed to Ethel Sheldon in 1928 along with a second triangular section. As no buildings are mentioned in this or an earlier deed, the bungalow probably dates from c. 1930.” BIBLIOGRAPHY
