sheet 1 NTH.796 ___ 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 story modest Italianate style home that has been modified. It is a side gabled house
with wide eaves and no returns. There is a two story rear ell. At one point, a one story ell connected the house to the two-story barn, but this barn was demolished in 2005. The three
bay façade has a central entrance with an Italianate style porch. This porch is a replacement. The narrative and photo of Form B from 1980 showed that the porch had a shed roof, chamfered
posts and ornate balustrade. The present porch has a hipped roof, Italianate style square columns, and square balusters. The front door presently has a narrow trabeated wooden surround,
which Form B from 1980 makes no mention of. All the six over six sash windows are replacements, but have original, very faint drip edge lintels. There is a small rondel in each gable.
The rear ell appears to have been majorly altered or rebuilt since this house was first inventoried in 1980. On the southeast elevation of house is a one story hipped roof porch with
Italianate style columns. 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)
