Both are Dutch Colonial Revival with gambrel roofs. The King House is two-and-a-half stories in height and the lower slope of its gambrel roof flares and extends around the house as
a pent roof between first and second stories. The house is three bays wide and two deep and on the west west façade the center entry has a shell-vaulted portico that rests on consoles
above battered pilasters. Flanking the entry are two, triple-composition windows. At second story level is a shed roof dormer that extends nearly the full width of the lower slope of
the roof. Above it at attic level is a centered eyebrow window. On the north elevation a brick and stone-shouldered chimney laces through the pent roof. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss

historic district Potential historic district Criteria: A B C D Criteria Considerations: A B C D E F G Statement of Significance by _____Bonnie Parsons___________________ The criteria
that are checked in the above sections must be justified here. This house would contribute to a potential Pomeroy Terrace historic district that developed south and east of the Bridge
Street Cemetery from the second third of the 19th century as Northampton’s finest residential district. Original residents here were merchants, retired farmers, lawyers, and other professions.
As the century progressed the adjacent streets were laid out for the growing middle class with railroad personnel joining clerks, teachers, and others. Architecturally the potential
historic district is significant for the fine examples of the 19th century architectural styles from the Greek and Gothic Revivals, Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles.
The district includes significant examples of the work of Northampton architect William Fenno Pratt. This potential historic district has integrity of workmanship, feeling, setting,
design and materials.
