From Form B of 1980: The western side of Hawley St. remained undeveloped until the mid 1850's. Pleasant Brook, a feeder
system of the Mill River, crossed Bridge St. just east of Market St. and ran southerly between the railroad and Hawley St., before
crossing the railroad near Holyoke St. and eventually emptying into the Mill River near the present day intersection of Pleasant
St. and Hockanum Rd, During the last third of the 19th century the stream was culverted and eventually covered over to provide
more land for development. By the turn of the 20th century there were three industries: Northampton Beef Co. and Joseph
Hebert Lumber Yard near Bridge St., and Belding Bros & Co. Silk Mill near Holyoke St., with eight houses between them. This
house was probably built during the l860's and features a steeply-pitched gable with an oculus in the apex. The windows have
plain surrounds and six over six sashes. A one-story entry porch wraps around the southern side to the projecting bay window,
and is composed of turned posts, a balustrade and lattice base.
