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. 78 Maynard Road is architecturally unique in Northampton, though other examples of the Italian
Renaissance style exist. The house is two stories in height under a low-pitched, hipped roof. Its façade is symmetrical, as it is three bays wide, and it is three bays deep for a square
plan. The stucco-covered house is Italian Renaissance in style, a style that flourished in the 1920s. It has a center entry under a barrel vaulted hood on consoles – an identifying feature
of this style -and first floor windowson the west façade, typical of the style, are full-length with paired, 4/4 sash within an architrave surround. Beneath each pair of windows is a
molded shelf to support window boxes. At the second story level the three bays consist of two out bays of 6/1 sash and a centered, Italianate arched window whose sash is recessed into
the stucco wall. The house has a one-story stucco wing wall about 4 feet wide and 6 feet high extending from its northwest corner and it has an arched pedestrian opening beneath a hipped
roof. On the south elevation is a one-story, glassed-in porch with bands of multi-light sash. On that same elevation at the house wall is an exterior wall chimney that laces through
the eaves. 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 Road was opened in 1922 through the Charles Maynard estate on Elm Street. This was the last of the streets extending westerly
from Elm Street to be laid out, and consequently has the most recent examples of residential architecture. Approximately half of the houses were built during the 1920’s, with most of
the rest built after WWII.” 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
