sheet 1 NTH.508 ___ 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 gable-and-wing form house in the Gothic Revival style. The steeply-pitched,
front-gable section of the house is two bays wide and its eaves are ornamented with a heavy barge board with center turned pendant. As the originally wood-sided house has been stuccoed,
its entry surround is no longer fully visible and is further obscured by an added porch hood hood on wrought iron posts. Window surrounds, however, have projecting capped lintels and
windows have 2/2 sash. The north wing of the house is also two-and-a-half stories in height and has a secondary entry with a matching porch hood on wrought iron posts. It has barge boards
in its gable end. There is a one-story wing on the south and an east ell that has had a second story vinyl-sided. 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: “Maynard Street was opened
in 1922 through the Charles Maynard homestead on Elm Street. About half of the houses were built during the 1920’s, with most of the rest being built after WWII. This was Maynard’s Elm
Street house and was moved to this site when the street was laid out. It was probably at this time that the house was stuccoed, allowing the house to ‘blend in.’ The house first appears
on its Elm Street site on the 1873 atlas. At that time, it was owned by Isaac Stone, a lawyer. Mr. Maynard, a prominent local industrialist, acquired the property about 1890.” BIBLIOGRAPHY
