ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and
evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.)
This house has more complicated massing than most of the Bloomfield
Street houses, with a jutting cross gable and roof carried down over the
entrance porch. Patterned shingles are used extensively on the second level.
The carriage house retains similar staggered-butt shingle finish on the upper
level and clapboards below. The house at 43 Bloomfield Street must have
looked like this one once, but has now lost its original finish and had its
porch enclosed.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state
history and how the building relates to the development of the community.)
