sheet 1 NTH.506 ___ 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-story, Colonial Revival style house with a side-gambrel roof that is one of about
a half-dozen very similar houses in its immediate neighborhood of side streets. A popular house form for its available second story space and relatively economical size, the house is
three bays wide and two bays deep and has a center entry with a barrel-vaulted portico on slim columns. Windows of the first floor east façade are bands of three sashes that are now
9/1 vinyl replacements. At second story level is a shed roof dormer that extends nearly fully across the roof. It has three bays of paired window sashes. The house is brick on the first
story and its dormer and gambrel fields are stucco-covered. The roof eaves make full returns between stories to create a pent roof for additional Colonial Revival detailing. 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: “Maynard Road was opened in 1922 through Charles Maynard’s estate on Elm Street. About half of the present houses were built during the 1920’s, with
the rest being mostly after WWII. The first known owner of this house was Horace Hosford, who was listed here in the 1930 directory and described therein as the president and manager
of the Norwood Engineering Company in Florence.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town
