Notes

This house is an older farmhouse style structure which seems to have been modified with a porch added and a rear addition. The addition has a foundation made of cinder blocks, which was unusual for the time. This points to it possibly being located in Holyoke, where cinder block foundations were more common.

The house sits on a sloped lot, the structure to the left is very unusual in that it has a large exposed foundation with a full floor below the street level.

There is a house number next to the door, but it is not very readable. It has three digits, and may read as 151 or 161.
