sheet 1 NTH.245 ___ 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 historical age of this house is difficult to discern due to the application of vinyl siding
and installation of vinyl replacement windows. It is a two-and-a-half story house under a front-gable roof. The east façade is two bays wide and due to the slope of the hillside its
center entry at what would otherwise be the basement level. The entry is a modest enclosed portico. The The building is the equivalent of three bays in depth and there is a side porch
on the south elevation that is supported on Queen Anne style turned posts. This entry appears to function as the main entry. One-and-a-half story and one-story ells extend from the west
elevation of the house for a long rectangular plan. On the north elevation the house has an angled bay window. 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: “The southern and eastern slopes of
Baker’s Hill were developed for residential lots in the decade after the Civil War. A second manufactory was established on the banks of the Mill River at Bay State in 1866 and the first
manufactory, the Bay State Hardware Co., was expanding. Warner Street, Maplewood Terrace, and Maple Street (now Liberty Street) come together at a point high up on the slope of the hill,
about 130 feet above the Mill River, and provide a panoramic view southerly to the Mount Tom and Holyoke ranges and the gap between them through which the Connecticut River flows. James
Carroll, a mechanic, had this house built in the mid-1870’s and it is maintained in his family to this day.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts,
