elevation of the home, there is a shallow two story wing. The house also has a small brick chimney along the ridge of the roof at its center. 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 1868, Lewis and Charles Edward and James Ellsworth, all farmers who lived on South Street filed a plan to open Olive Street. This would be the second street to run southeasterly
from South Street atop the terrace. The first, Fort Street, was originally known as Old Springfield Road and extended over the bluff, down into the meadows and eventually led to Springfield.
Olive Street was originally only opened atop the terrace; in the early 20th century a connection was made with Fort Street. By 1873, nine houses had been built on Olive Street. In 1873,
Charles Parker, a carpenter, is listed at this house.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the
