sheet 1 NTH.352 ___ 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 brick building with a hipped roof. It is six bays wide and two bays
deep and has two interior chimneys. Rough-faced brownstone is used to create Colonial Revival style quoins at the building’s corners and as a water table, beltcourse, and double as window
lintels and sills. Windows in the building are segmentally arched and have a mixture of 2/2 ((original) and 1/1 (replacement) sash. Centered on the south façade is a two-story porch
supported on columns on the first floor and posts on the second. The porch has solid shingle railings and shingle is used again on the single pedimented dormer centered on the roof.
Between the houses at 1-3 and 9-11 and this house at 15 Glendale Avenue, their common builder can be seen to have shifted his stylistic goals from Panel Brick to Colonial Revival. 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 1980: “This four tenement block was built around the turn-of-the-century on a short street off of Prospect Street just north of Round Hill. Daniel Lynch,
a mason and builder who lived on Crescent Street just up the hill from here is the probably builder. His own residence is of brick with similar detailing. There are two brick duplex
houses on this street that Mr. Lynch probably constructed.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of
