sheet 1 NTH.413 ___ 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 is an idiosyncratic Queen Anne style house that is vinyl-sided, has brick foundations and
an asphalt shingled roof. It is two-and-a-half stories under a pyramidal hipped roof, and at its south west corner is a three-story tower under a Turkish domed roof. The house is two
bays wide and shares with its neighbor at 274 Bridge Street a slightly projecting pavilion on the façade, façade, a large, fixed-light window in the pavilion, and triangular shaped dormers
on the roof. Entry in to the house is through the tower that has an adjacent large, fixed light window as well. A porch extends across two bays of the east façade. It is supported on
chamfered posts with ornate brackets at the eaves. The roof of the house has wide eaves overhang and an ornate row of closely spaced brackets supports the eaves. A wide frieze band encircles
the buildings above a row of sawtooth molding. The house now has replacement 1/1 sash and the siding obscures the depth of detail that may still be present. There is a rear corner porch
that adds to the building’s complexity. 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 1980, “In 1898 Edson Clark sold Chester White a portion of his house lot on Bridge Street. There
were restrictions attached, including no house built closer than 26’ to Mr. Clark’s residence. Mr. White was a carpenter and builder, and built this house soon afterwards, as he was
listed here in the 1900 directory.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton
