history. Include uses of the building, and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. From Form B of 1980: “This house was built during the 1920's on Fruit St. The
street had been laid out in the 1820's, but most of the western side became part of the Fort Hill estate originally owned by Samuel Whitmarsh. The first known owner of this house was
Josef Karankiewicz, who is listed here in the 1930 directory. Mr. Karankiewicz was co-owner of the Northampton Paint Company on Pleasant Street.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers,
