sheet 1 NTH.1005 __X_ 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 Greek Revival style home with a pedimented front gable roof; however, almost
all of the home’s original Greek Revival stylistic features have been removed. Since the home was first inventoried in 1980, the corner pilasters and frieze have been covered in vinyl,
which were the home’s most distinguishing features. The paired six over one windows in the gable field have also been replaced by a very small circular vent. Around the turn of the 19th
century, a two story hipped roof wing was added to the southern elevation of the home. The front façade, including the side wing, is covered by a Colonial Revival era full width front
porch with Tuscan columns, square balusters, solid frieze, and apron. Windows on the home are replacement one over one sash. On the northern elevation, there is a one story bay. There
is a chimney on ridge of the front gable. 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: “The first known owner of this house was Cylon Moody, a farmer. He is shown owning this house and
the one next north in the 1854 map. With its Greek Revival styling, the house was probably built only ten or twenty years previous to this date.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers,
