sheet 1 NTH.2144 ___ 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. The house is two-and-a-half stories in height with pedimented front gable. It is three bays wide
and three bays deep with side hall entry. The form, pedimented roof, and age of the home denoted that it is a late Greek Revival style home with late 19th century alterations. Greek
Revival features include the tympanum with flush board siding and a two over two sash replacement window as well as the slim corner boards and a simple frieze that define the home. The
full-width front porch was likely a mid to late 19th century alteration to the home to make it more in character with contemporary styles. The front porch has a very low-pitched hipped
roof with turned posts, carved brackets and patterned balustrade that extends across the three-bay front façade. The home’s original two over two sash windows exist behind metal storm
windows. These windows are fairly large, further emphasizing that this is a late Greek Revival style home. There is an exterior chimney on the northwest elevation as well as a narrow
one-story projection on this side. A small, one-story rear ell extends off the southwest elevation of the home. The house is clapboard sided and rests on a stone and brick foundation.
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. In 1830 Naomi Pease bought a third of an acre of land fronting Maple St (now Conz Street) from Justice Parsons for $200. The house seems to appear on the 1831 map,
and remained in the Pease family until 1895. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton
