sheet 1 NTH.1011 _X__ 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 house is two stories in height under a front gable roof. This house may have started as a
Greek Revival style home, but distinguishing features of this style, such as a Greek Revival style front entrance, no longer remain. The three bay facade is covered by a one-story porch
with flat roof, projecting cornice with frieze, square posts and Queen Anne style patterned balustrade. On the southern end of the front facade is a double entrance of no distinction,
which was probably added around the turn of the century replacing what may have been a wide Greek Revival style entrance. Windows on the house are replacement one over one sash or six
over six sash, but they have their original architrave surrounds. The southern elevation of the house has an Italianate two-story paneled bay window. There is a large two story rear
ell on the eastern elevation of the home. 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 1971: “South Street is one of Northampton's earliest roads and contains the largest number of pre-19th
century houses in the city. The street was first permanently settled about 1700, and was quickly built up with homesteads lining both sides of the street. Many of these homestead remained
in the same families for generations, and newer houses were built alongside the original 18th century houses. This land was originally part of the Preserved Bartlett homestead, established
in 1792. Mr. Bartlett lived at 124 South Street until his death in 1845 at the age of 77. A few years before he died, Preserved divided his estate, deeding his own house to his youngest
son Samuel, and a house next westerly to his son Theodore, who is described as already living there. This is the present number 130 South Street. Theodore Bartlett lived in the house
until his death in 1893 at the age of 85. The property was left to his son Frederick and daughter Mary (later Mary Foote). In 1913 the house was purchased by Charles Wright for $1550
and until recently remained in the Wright family.” Carolyn P. Wright and Agnes Wright Howland owned the house in 1971. Evelyn J. Howland bought the house in 1996. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or
