sheet 1 NTH.83 ___ 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 Graves house originally began as an Italianate style building, and remaining from that initial
design are bracketed hoods on its windows. However, it also takes its stylistic designation from the fine, full-width Queen Anne style porch that crosses its east façade. It is a two-and-a-half
story house under a front-gable roof, but in comparison to its neighbor at 96 North Maple Street with the same form but which was built later, it has more compact proportions and a smaller
ell on the west. The one-and-a-half story ell gains height for its second floor by three, through-eaves dormers on its north elevation. The main block of the house is three bays wide
and has a side-hall entry. The porch has a low hipped roof with a pediment over the stair entry. It has ornamental turned posts, turned balusters in its railing and a turned spindle
frieze. Scroll-cut brackets ornament the eaves. 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: “North Maple Street was developed residentially during the mid 1860’s. The coming of
the railroad in 1867 opened up an entire new area between Main Street and Bridge Road in Florence. This house first appears on the 1873 atlas as property of Charles Graves, a farmer.”
