sheet 1 NTH.78 ___ 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 modestly Italianate style house, two-and-a-half stories in height under a front-gable
roof with relatively wide eaves. It is three bays wide with two full-length windows at first story adjacent to the side hall entry. The windows have large 2/2 sash and their surrounds
have projecting drip molds. Crossing the east façade is a flat-roofed porch on posts with widely overhanging eaves. There are scroll-cut brackets at the eaves. In the gable field of
the east façade is a pointed-top window. This window form was popular for many decades in Northampton beginning in the 1850s and appearing in the 1880s on Queen Anne style houses. There
is an angled bay window on the south elevation and a two-story ell on the west with a side porch on the south. The porch’s supports and brackets match those from the east. The house
has a fine, hipped roof, two-bay garage. 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: “This house first appears on the 1873 atlas as property of a R. Martin. It was built sometime after
1867 when G.F. Miller filed his subdivision plan for the northern half of North Maple Street.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New
