INVENTORY FORMB CONTINUATION SHEET [NORTHAMPTON] [203 NORTH MAIN STREET] MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220MORRISSEY BOULEVARD, BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 Continuation
sheet 1 NTH.53 ___ 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 house in form follows a pattern that was used by many of the house builders on North Main
Street. It is a two-and-a-half story house under a front-gabled roof, with a one-and-a-half story wing on its east under a side-gable roof. This makes it gable-and-wing in form. The
house has been completely vinyl sided and its windows replaced, so it has lost most of its 19th century century character. It has a full-width porch on thin posts that crosses the south
façade of both main block and wing. The wing has a through-cornice dormer on its south façade. A new window has been inserted on the first story of the wing’s south façade. 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: “In 1872, Frederick Campbell bought lot no. 6 of Charles Warren’s subdivision plan for the north side of North Main Street in Florence for $300. Frederick
was one of the three Campbell brothers from Plainfield, Massachusetts to buy adjacent lots on North Main Street during the early 1870’s. His house does not appear on the 1873 atlas,
but he is listed here in the 1875 directory, and is described as a painter.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales,
