To the Commission Members:
The enclosed report fulfills the responsibility of the Northampton Historical Commission to
complete an inventory of properties to be included under the protection of the recently adopted
demolition delay ordinance. The ordinance specified that buildings built prior to 1901 would
automatically be subject to demolition delay, but that properties built between 1901 and 1939 should be
reviewed by the Historical Commission, in order to determine which ones merit protection.
Properties may be worthy of protection if they are either historically, culturally or architecturally
significant. While very few buildings from this era are associated with important historical events, we
found many which warrant protection because of their architectural and aesthetic merits. The buildings
we have chosen are of three types: residential, commercial, and institutional. Of these, the largest group
is residential. Houses from this era were built in a variety of architectural styles, including
Craftsman /Bungalow, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Mediterranean, Modern, and Queen Anne. We have
picked the best examples of these styles for inclusion. Of these, the most common style is Colonial
revival, which takes several distinct forms: Earlier houses tend to be more creative, similar in spirit to
Victorian buildings, while later houses adhere more closely to historical models. Another distinct variety
of colonial revival is the four - square. Each of these types were quite popular in Northampton, and we
have selected the best examples from each for inclusion.
In order to compile this inventory, we visually canvassed the entire city, identifying properties
from the time period and creating a preliminary list of approximately 200 potential candidates for
inclusion. Each property was photographed. From the initial list we jointly decided which properties to
include and which to discard, winnowing the list down to the current 135 properties. During this process
we focused on each stylistic category individually, in order to insure that we would have a number of
properties from each and that no category would be disproportionally represented. For properties which
had not been previously documented we have completed Form B's (standard historic inventory forms)
including brief descriptions of each property, outlining the basis for preservation.
We hope that this report will provide a solid foundation for a preservation campaign should any
of these properties ever be threatened with demolition. We would like to thank the Commission for its
continued work in preserving Northampton's history, and for giving us the opportunity to contribute to
this effort.
