sheet 1 NTH.251 ___ 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 house represents the late Queen Anne style as it was constructed for the middle and working
class in Northampton. It is two-and-a-half stories under a hipped roof that is slate-covered. There is a cross-gable on the east façade and a cross-gable on the north. A three-sided
bay window is on the south elevation and all three gables and bays add some complexity to the plan of the house. A wraparound porch on turned posts fills the angle between the front
cross-gable and that on the north. 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: “This large, two-and-a-half story residence is prominently located at the junction of three important
mid-nineteenth century roads: the road leading to the Baystate Mills (Riverside Drive), the road to Warner’s Silk Mill (Federal Street heading north), and the road to the Paper Mill
(Federal Street heading south). For some unknown reason, this lot wasn’t developed until early twentieth century.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire
