sheet 1 NTH.63 ___ 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 house with a front-gable roof and a two-and-a-half story wing on
the east for an L-shaped plan. The main block of the house is three bays wide and has a side-hall entry under a pedimented portico that rests on turned posts. Windows are all vinyl replacements
with 6/1 and 4/1 configuration. On the south façade of the wing is a two-story bay angled bay window, the first story of which is larger than the second story. The house has vinyl shingles
laid in the gable fields, suggesting that shingles originally were in that position. The house is a modest Queen Anne in style. It has one of the few remaining carriage houses, however,
now converted to a house. 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: “In 1872, Levi Campbell, from Plainfield, Massachusetts, bought lot no. 4 of Charles Warren’s subdivision plan
for the north side of North Main Street for $400. Levi was one of three Campbell brothers from Plainfield who bought lots adjacent to each other here on North Main Street. His house
first appears on the 1884 atlas.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton
