BUILDING FORM (84 Maple Street) <br /> ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION <br /> Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the <br /> community. <br /> A variation on the Craftsman style, 84 Maple Street is a two-story dwelling sheathed in wood shingles above a fieldstone first <br /> floor. The building is capped by a hip roof which exhibits eaves which are slightly flared and adorned by exposed rafters. <br /> An ofFcenter hip dormer rises from the front roof slope. Largely, obscured by rhododendrons,the first floor of the facade is <br /> fronted by a single-story, hip-roofed porch which is supported by stone posts and also exhibits exposed rafters. The open <br /> porch extends beyond the east end of the house. Underneath the porch,the glass-and-panel door is decorated by a dentil <br /> molding and is flanked by two wide, full length sidelights. Also sheltered by the porch is a three-sided bay window with 2/1 <br /> sash. Windows on the ends of the second floor of the facade contain modern tripartite replacements which probably replace <br /> multilight casements which are still visible on the west end of the house. At the center of the second floor facade there are <br /> two 2/1 windows of different sizes. <br /> Behind the main house block is a two-story ell which is also hip-roofed. At the rear is a modern, single-story addition <br /> sheathed in clapboards and capped by a hip roof. It was constructed in 1990 and is fronted by a large deck. <br /> At the street there is a stone pillar about six feet tall and capped by concrete. A line of trees extends along the road. The <br /> house is set back from the road with an elongated circular driveway located to the west of the house. At the end of the <br /> driveway is a single-story, wood-shingled garage capped by a flat roof and currently in poor condition. The property <br /> originally included 1.65 acres but has been reduced to 41,848 square feet.
