an asphalt shingle roof. There is a wing on the north elevation to add complexity to the Four Square floor plan. A two-story porch under a hipped roof on the west façade is supported
by Colonial Revival style Doric columns on the first story where it is an open porch and on the second story it is framed by paneled pilasters and is glazed. 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. Although
Prospect Street was one of the earliest streets in Northampton this section of it did not develop until the mid-19th century. It gradually filled in with house lots until shortly after
1895 a new street, Prospect Court was put in. This house was constructed ca. 1900 -1910 and Edward Duvall was listed in 1919 as living here. He was a grocer in the business of Brown
and Duval. He was here with his wife Delia through 1940. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the
