Elm Street Historic District (Northampton, Massachusetts)
The Elm Street/Round Hill Historic District is a local historic district in the city of Northampton, Massachusetts. Established in 1994 along one mile of Elm Street it was expanded to include Round Hill Road in 2012. There are 139 buildings ranging in style from early 18th century colonial to Modern and International style. The first lots on what is now Elm Street (from Main Street to Round Hill) were granted between 1659 and 1661. The founding of Clarke School for the Deaf in 1867 and the founding of Smith College in 1871 marked the beginning of a significant number of institutional buildings in a wide range of architectural styles at the eastern end of the district (Smith College) and Round Hill Road (Clarke Schools). There was a boom in residential home building from the mid-19th to early 20th century and as a result many homes are Queen Anne and Colonial Revival style. In 2013 the Clarke Schools sold 12 acres with ten buildings to a developer who will create luxury condominiums and commercial space. Catholic Churches punctuate each end of the district. Elm Street is part of Massachusetts Route 9 which runs East/West between Pittsfield, Massachusetts and Boston, Massachusetts. Notable buildings and locations
The eastern terminus of the Elm Street Historic District is dominated by Smith College's College Hall on the south side built in 1875 in Gothic Italianate style by Peabody and Stearns and by the former St. Mary's Catholic Church built on the north side in 1881 in Gothic Revival. The Church and its Rectory are on the site of the former Mansion House, an important stop at the northern terminus of the Northampton-New Haven Canal. Two houses vie for the claim of "oldest house." Smith College's Sessions House at 109 Elm Street is wood-framed and has a gambrel roof. It is believed to have been built around 1725 by Jonathan Hunt and would therefore be the oldest building owned by Smith College. The privately owned 197 Elm Street is believed to have been built around the same time (1730) but given approximations on construction dates it might be either the oldest or second-oldest, extant building on Elm Street. By contrast, Smith College's Cutter and Ziskind Houses were designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and built in 1957 in the International style and the Contemporary-style Art Museum and Campus Center were built in 2003. Smith College's Haven House at 110 Elm Street (sometimes shown as 96 Elm Street) was the residence of Sylvia Plath during her first two years at Smith College from 1950 to 1952. At 137 Elm Street is the 1841 Italianate home of Charles P. Huntington, a noted abolitionist and namesake for the nearby town of Huntington which he helped create. He was a member of the State House of Representatives in Boston. At 222 Elm Street is the 1891 Shingle-style Queen Anne home of John C Hammond who took Amherst College graduate (later US President) Calvin Coolidge on as a legal apprentice in his law firm Hammond & Field. Also near the western terminus, just off Elm Street is the former home of President Calvin Coolidge on Massasoit Street. The western terminus of the District is Catholic Church built in 1899 for the Blessed Sacrament Parish in an unusual "Swiss" design.
