sheet 1 NTH.74 ___ 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 Calvin Bartlett House is a two-story Italianate house with the flat roof of an Italian villa.
The house is two stories in height and its wide eaves are supported on paired brackets. It has a wide frieze beneath its eaves, in which on the west façade is a grille, a feature often
found in this style. The wood-shingled house is three bays wide and three deep for a square plan. The shingle siding is a later alteration as the siding would originally have been either
clapboard or flushboard. It has a center entry sheltered by a flat-roofed portico on columns. Paired brackets ornament the portico eaves. The entry is slightly recessed and framed by
a trabeated surround of pilasters supporting an entablature. Broad, three-quarter-length sidelights flank the entry door. A wrought iron railing borders the portico roof. Windows in
the house have architrave surrounds with drip molded lintels and they have 2/2 sash. There is a one-story bay window on the south elevation of the 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 1867, Calvin Bartlett bought lot no. 3 of G.F. Miller’s ‘Village Lots’ subdivision on North Maple Street for $200. This was ¾ of an acre and, as Mr. Bartlett was
a carpenter, he probably built this house himself.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town
