sheet 1 NTH.94 ___ 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. Now screened by a two-story, stacked, Colonial Revival style porch that was added later, this house
is strongly Italianate in style. It is two-and-a-half stories in height under a front-gable roof that has wide eaves supported on paired Italianate brackets. Windows in the house have
hood lintels on brackets – mark of a well-designed Italianate house – and sash is 2/2. There is a two-story wing on the south elevation and in the angle of the main block and the wing
is an added one-story room, which could originally have been a porch. The house has a two-story ell that is four bays long on the west elevation. It is somewhat unusual with a cantilevered,
hipped roof on its north elevation. The ell is covered with faux stone siding. 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, Edward Goodwin of Simsbury Connecticut bought
¾ of an acre fronting on North Maple Street from Israel Graves for $700. This was part of the subdivision which had been filed by Mr. Graves and D.G. Littlefield in 1862 for the area
between North Main and North Maple Streets, bounded by Graves Street (later Myrtle, now Bardwell Street). The Williamsburg line of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad cut through
this subdivision in 1867, and a freight house and depot were built here also. Mr. Goodwin became the station agent, as well as a real estate agent, and maintained his residence until
his death around 1890.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or Northampton in the County
