ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
The historical age of this house is difficult to discern due to the application of vinyl siding and installation of vinyl replacement
windows. It is a two-and-a-half story house under a front-gable roof. The east façade is two bays wide and due to the slope of
the hillside its center entry at what would otherwise be the basement level. The entry is a modest enclosed portico. The building
is the equivalent of three bays in depth and there is a side porch on the south elevation that is supported on Queen Anne style
turned posts. This entry appears to function as the main entry. One-and-a-half story and one-story ells extend from the west
elevation of the house for a long rectangular plan. On the north elevation the house has an angled bay window.
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 southern and eastern slopes of Baker’s Hill were developed for residential lots in the decade after
the Civil War. A second manufactory was established on the banks of the Mill River at Bay State in 1866 and the first
manufactory, the Bay State Hardware Co., was expanding. Warner Street, Maplewood Terrace, and Maple Street (now Liberty
Street) come together at a point high up on the slope of the hill, about 130 feet above the Mill River, and provide a pa noramic
view southerly to the Mount Tom and Holyoke ranges and the gap between them through which the Connecticut River flows.
James Carroll, a mechanic, had this house built in the mid-1870’s and it is maintained in his family to this day.”
