INVENTORY FORMB CONTINUATION SHEET NORTHAMPTON] [396 Bridge Street] MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220MORRISSEY BOULEVARD, BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 Continuation
sheet 1 NTH.366 ___ 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 a two-and-a-half story house under a hipped roof. Like its neighbors at 222 Bridge Street
and 274 Bridge Street this house has a hipped roof pavilion that projects from the east façade. The pavilion contains the entrance to the house and an adjacent large, fixed-light window.
The pavilion is crossed by a porch on Gothic posts. A three-sided oriel window under a polygonal roof is located on the south elevation. The south elevation is five bays deep, and includes
a side entry with a shed roof hood. Dormers on the roof, like those on the houses at 222 and 274 Bridge Street are triangular and glazed. Trim is also similar to the other houses with
a cornice supported on a row of fine brackets, molded architrave surrounds on the windows and the small brackets repeated on the dormers. Given the idiosyncratic similarities among these
three houses, it is highly likely that this house was the work of builder Chester White. 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, “This large, 2 ½ story house was built in
the early 20th century on one of J. W. Hubbard’s subdivision lots. Hubbard had opened up his homestead to residential development in 1891, and this was one of the few lots available
that was directly on Bridge Street. Most of the other lots were located on the newly created Hubbard Avenue, and Marshall, Swan and Crosby Streets.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers,
