Orange Street

MACRIS NWB.AA · area form, 1980

This streetscape form covers Orange Street between Fair Street and Federal Street, numbers 1–13 and 8–18. It gives 1840–1900 as the general period, names Greek Revival as the main style, and lists no major intrusions. The form states that the town laid out and accepted the street on 12 March 1783 and that houses went up in the years after. Some older houses on the even side were updated in the mid-nineteenth century, so most details along the street are Greek Revival or Victorian.

Two houses are described. 2 Orange Street, gambrel-roofed and one of the earliest on the street, was owned in 1851 by Thomas and George Patten, coopers, and in 1872 by Jacob Johnson, a conductor for the Eastern Railroad. 4 Orange Street, a two-story clapboard Greek Revival house with an Ionic entrance portico, belonged in 1851 to Henry C. Plummer, who kept a dry goods store at 59 State Street.
