1 NTH.1018 _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 Queen Anne home with multiple gables to form a modified cross plan. Similar to its next
door neighbor at 10 Munroe Street, the front gable caps a two-story, three-sided bay at the southwest corner of the front façade. Also both houses have similar front porches with turned
posts, spindle frieze, and a balustrade although this porch does not wrap nor does it have a pedimented gable. On the southeast corner of this house is a three-story tower with pyramidal
roof. There is also a hipped roof dormer on the southwest elevation of the house. This house has lost much of its original architectural features since the home was first inventoried
in 1980. Vinyl siding now covers the entire façade, erasing the home’s decorative fish scale shingles that once graced the gables, the third floor of the tower and the wide band of trim
that separated the first and second stories of the house. The original windows have been replaced and original surrounds covered. The slate rood has also been replaced by an asphalt
roof. Off the northeastern elevation of the home is a two-and-a-half story ell. On the northwest corner of the rear ell is a two story stacked porch with shed roof. The home has a brick
chimney on the main block of the house and there is also a chimney near the ridgeline of the rear ell. The house rests on a brick foundation. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history
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 March 1894, Thomas H. Kiley sold part of his homestead to Thomas M. and Catherine Kiley and a house was built by the time of the 1895 Atlas. Thomas Kiley is listed
as working for the Boston & Maine RR and living at 27 State Street in 1895 and 1905, so this probably never served as his residence.” John and Kathleen O Neil owned this house when it
was first inventoried in 1980 and continue to own the house at the time of this writing in 2010. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts,
