93 Chapman Road

93%20Chapman%20Road.JPG

Address: 93 Chapman Road
Contemporary Building Name: 93 Chapman Road
Historic Building Name: Henry West House
Present Use: Residential
Historic Use: Residential
Architectural style: Colonial
Date constructed: 1740-1780 (Baber)
Description: The house at 93 Chapman Road is a one-story three-bay (now), central-chimney Colonial building. There is one 6-over-6 window to the left, close to the door, and one to the right in a larger space, suggesting the possibility that the configuration may have been four-bay originally. Three windows are in place on the east elevation, first floor, with two, close together, at the second. A shed-roofed dormer has been added on the rear roof slop, and a low shed-roofed full-width ell across the back.
Significance: 93 Chapman Road is smaller in ground plan and lower in height than its roughly comparable neighbors at 55 Chapman Road and 141 Chapman Road, and is without the eaves windows. Consequently, even if four-bay originally, which is conjectural, it is not a close duplicate of the other two but is generally similar and of the same period.
