the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. The Henry Boynton House was an Italianate style house of one-and-a-half stories under a front-gable
roof to which was added a Queen Anne style porch some time in the 1880s or 90s. The addition of a Queen Anne porch was a not-uncommon practice in Bay State Village and can be seen at
a number of different houses. The east façade of the house extends one bay to the north at the first story level to accommodate an entry and there is a picture window adjacent to it.
A north wing of one-story under a shed roof was also added to the house and on the south elevation a cross-gable and a through-cornice dormer were added. The clapboard-sided house has
shingles in its gable peaks and sash is replacement 1/1 vinyl. 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 the form B of 1970, “This one and a half story, L-shaped cottage is located at the intersection
of the roads leading to the Bay State Mills (Riverside Drive) to Warner’s silk mill (Federal Street), and to the paper mills (now also known as Federal Street). Henry Boynton acquired
one-third of an acre in 1863 for $600. In 1867 George Boynton and his wife Sarah were living in this house. G. Boynton was employed by the Bay State Hardware Company. “ BIBLIOGRAPHY
