Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a one story bungalow that has been extensively altered since the house was first inventories in 1975 and for this reason most of its original historic features are no longer present. The low-pitched hipped roof used to have exposed rafters but these were boxed at some after 1975. The homes historic wood shingle cladding has also been lost to vinyl siding. The house still retains its basic bungalow form with its wrapping porch enclosed beneath the slope of the main roof and center hipped roof dormer. The house has two brick chimneys, one of which is an exterior wall chimney on the northern slope of the roof. Windows on the house have replacement sashes except the dormer windows. 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 twentieth century bungalow represents the development of the southerly end of South Street at the turn of the century. The parcel on which it was built was carved from a large tract in 1899 following the insolvency of the Day family which owned the Federal/Greek Revival residence located between present day Hampden and Charles Streets. Hampden, Charles, and Cedar Streets were created by the subdivision of 1899. The parcel on which the bungalow stands changed hands several times but was not built until after 1912, when William Brownell sold ‘lot #20’ to Albia Paquette. The residence is clearly the product of the automobile era: the sole outbuilding, located close to the rear of the dwelling, is a garage similar in style to the bungalow.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F.
