of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a one-and-a-half story house under a front-gable roof. The house has an added front porch in the Queen Anne
style with turned posts and a spindle frieze at the eaves. It has been partially enclosed. The house is wood shingle sided and has no particular decorative detail dating from the 1870s.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building, and the role(s) the owners/occupants
played within the community. This house was in place by 1873 when it appears to have been owned by the surname Dunneran, however, the name is somewhat illegible. By 1884 Mrs. L. Clapp
was living in the house in a neighborhood of Irish immigrants. Lydia Clapp in 1880 lived with her three adult children, one of whom was listed on the census as being insane, and she
took in two boarders who worked as laborers. By 1895 the Clapps had been replaced by William and Agnes Campbell and their three children. The Campbells had emigrated from Scotland and
William worked as a machinist. By 1919 the house was occupied by Michael Daley who worked, as did a number of men in this neighborhood, for the railroad. George Button was in the house
in 1930-1940. Button was also a railroad employee, working as a machinist for the railroad. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, Massachusetts,
