state) history. Include uses of the building, and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. From Form B of 1976: “This large shingle style structure is presently
used by Smith College as a dormitory; it is located on Henshaw Avenue to the rear of Sessions Houses, inventoried as the Hunt and Pierson Houses, and is typical of shingle style residences
built in Northampton at the turn of the century. It is probable that the structure was built prior to 1915; the 1915 Sanborn Insurance Maps indicate a dormitory on the site. The parcel
known as 10 Henshaw Avenue was in private hands, however.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of
