wide and one bay deep with a salt box style rear ell. The house has been covered with vinyl siding which has hidden many of its original features. At the center of the façade is a shallow
portico that has been partially enclosed. Windows on the house are six over six sash and are partially hidden behind metal storm windows. The property includes an attached one-bay modern
garage. 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 1976: “The first Nathaniel Clark settled on South Street in 1705, the year of his marriage to Hannah Sheldon. He was the brother of Deacon
John Clark who had settled on the street the year before. There were five generations of Clark family, all with the first name Nathaniel, who lived on this homestead. The house finally
passed from the Nathaniel Clark line in the late 19th century. The first Nathaniel Clark lived on the homestead until his death in 1767. His son, Lieutenant Nathaniel, lived there from
his birth in 1706 until his death in 1773. He was a selectman of the town in 1751 and from 1761 to 1764.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts,
