NPS I ,nh’i 10-91101 ‘MIt P1., 1117.1 1411% - I XI, 10-31- 01 United States Department of the Interior - National Park Service For NI’S use only National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form rBceived Continuation sheet 2 cm number 7 Page 3 INVENTORY - - Contributing structures include the buildings erected during Watch Hill’s period of growth as a summer resort, from the 1840s through the 1930s, together with earlier buildings which reflect prior development but became part of the resort community e.g., farmhouses converted to summer cottages or guest houses - The period of signi ficance extends from the eighteenth century to 1935. Although a number of structures have been altered, some by the addition of modern wail -cover materials; original trim elements often remain. Such buildings have been defined as contributing since they are historically part of the built environment of Watth Hill and they could be restored to their original appearance. in some cases, where tri.m elements have been totally removed or covered, buildings have still been defined as contributing if their scale, form, massing, and siting make them essential parts of historic hlockscapes - In cases where buildings have- been extensively altered and their appearances have been totally transformed e.g., garages o-f the 1910s and l920s converted to residences that iook like 1950s ranch houses , the structures have been designated as non-contributing. - - A consistent and comprehensive system of addresses is lacking at Watch Hill. Some buildings are set at a street corner, in the middle of a block, or far back on a lot in a manner that makes it difficult to determine on what street the building is located. For the purposes of this nomination, each building has been assigned a location based on the one listed for it in Westerly tax records, even though the street desig nated may not be the one physically closest to the building e.g., the two houses near Mastuxet Terrace, map numbers 44 and 45, that are iden tified in town records as properties on Bluff Avenue . Streets have been listed in alphabetical order, and hui1dings in the order in which ther appear on the street. The inventory entries have been numbered in se quence. - These inventory-entry numbers have been used a-s map numbers to identify the location of each property on the district map. NftL Non-contributing buildings are marked by the prefix ‘NC.’ Unless otherwise stated, huildings are of shingle-clad wood-frame construction. See Continuation Sheet #3
