ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
This is a two-and-a-half story late Queen Anne style home. The house has a slate truncated hipped roof with lower pedimented
gable that crowns the top of a wide two-story bay. In the gable field, there is a two over two window. Toward the end of the
Queen Anne style’s run, many Queen Anne style houses had classical porch features such a columns and solid friezes rather
than turned posts and spindlework detailing. The partial width porch on this house was influenced by the stylistic transition from
Queen Anne to Colonial Revival, showing Tuscan columns, a solid frieze and balustrade with square balusters. The porch also
has a lattice apron. The southern elevation of the home has additional stylistic features such as decorative paneling flanked by
vertical muntin windows. The property includes a one bay garage with pyramidal roof. The garage has double leaf doors on
hinges and a side entrance.
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: “The house was built in 1905-1906 for Charles Gallup, employed at that time for the Smith Carr Baking
Company. Gallup later ran a wholesale confectionery business out of his house. Located at the hoot of Munroe Street on
Hampton Terrace, the lot backs up to the brow of old Mill River terrace. Meadows stretch easterly from here to the Connecticut
River, providing a very scenic vista.”
