sheet 1 NTH.483 ___ 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 Manning House is a well-built Colonial Revival house, one of several brick Colonial Revival
houses in the area. It is two-and-a-half stories in height under a side-gable roof on which is centered an eyebrow window – an uncommon feature for the very conservative Colonial Revival
houses of the 1920s in Northampton. The house has two end wall chimneys and one-story porch wings at each side elevation, maintaining symmetry. It is three bays wide and three bays deep
and it has a pedimented portico on the north façade that rests on Doric columns. Its entry is beneath an elliptical fanlight with sidelights at each side. First floor windows place this
house firmly in the 20th century with triple composition openings: 4/1-8/1-4/1 in configuration. At the second floor windows have 6/1 sash. 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 1977:
“Elaine W. Manning inherited the house from her father Michael Manning, who built it in 1927. She sold it to David Schuman in August, 1975.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F.
