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 large rambling house occupies a prominent site overlooking the meadows at the end of Pomeroy Terrace. Pomeroy terrace was laid out about 1850 and and quickly became an exclusive residential district. Later development, south of here, along Williams Street was oriented more towards local mill workers. However, this house shows that Pomeroy Terrace had not lost its appeal during the ensuing years. The house seems to have been first owned by John Prince, treasurer of the Nonotuck Savings Bank.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873.
