of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a fine example of the Queen Anne style. It is a two-and-a-half story house under a front gable roof made more
complex by cross-gables on east and west and a stacked porch on the north. The house is clapboard sided on the first and second stories and in the gable fields it is shingled. The porch
on the north façade is full-width at the first floor level and is stacked with a second story portion, one bay wide at the second floor. The porch supports are turned posts with brackets
at the eaves. The second floor section of the porch has a pedimented roof whose field is also shingled. Window sash is 2/2. 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. Annie Hogan and her five children
lived in this house in 1900. Annie was an immigrant from Ireland, though all her children were born in Massachusetts. Julia and Mary worked as winder and a braider at the silk mill,
John and James worked as day laborers in the brush shop, and Timothy was in school. Annie, a widow, kept the house. By 1919 the Hogans had left the house and it was occupied by Mrs.
Christine Doane and Carl and Helen Gustafson through 1940. Carl was a carpenter. By 1940 Carl had retired. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts,
