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 Colonial Revival style bungalow. The steeply pitched side gable roof extends all the way to the first
story to contain the full width front porch under the main roof. The screened porch is supported by massive paneled piers. A
large shed roof dormer with wood shingle cladding and two six over one sash windows sits prominently on the frontward slope of
the roof. At the ridge of the steeply pitched roof is a small brick chimney. This house has stucco cladding with the exception of
the gable field and front dormer. Some of the windows on the house are the original six over one sash windows while others are
six over one sash replacements. On the western elevation of the home, there is a side entrance and on the rear, northern
elevation, there is a back porch.
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: “Madison Avenue is a short street off of East Street and extends easterly to the brow of the river terrace
overlooking the meadows. This small subdivision was filed in 1910 by prominent Northampton developers Edward Barrett and
James O’Brien. The five houses on the street all date from the period shortly afterwards.”
The William and Roslyn Maginnis family has owned this house since at least 1980.
