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. The Warner House is a Queen Anne style house that has been sided in aluminum in a manner that obscures most of its architectural details. Its form remains visible, however. It is two-and-a-half stories under a low-pitched roof with cross gables on the east façade and the north and a round, two-story tower under a conical roof set on the hipped roof of a porch. The porch and tower are between the two cross-gables. The gable eaves make full returns to form pediments that are so deeply recessed that they contain windows. On the east the window is a leaded fanlight and on the north the window is small and rectangular. The east façade has a porch on its south end. The porch rests on posts. On the north elevation one of the outstanding features still visible is the stair window with three staggered windows below a panel with a floral relief. 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 1975: “The house was probably built between 1884 and 1895. Lewis Warner purchased the lot of land in 1874, at which time a smaller house was on the property. Given the retardataire nature of Northampton architecture, the house could hardly have been built before 1890. It is unquestionably indicated on the 1895 Easthampton-Northampton Atlas.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G.
