ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features.
Evaluate
the characteristics
of the building
in terms of other buildings
within the
community.
Setback on a narrow lot which it shares with 86 Federal Street, 84 Federal Street is a modest, 2 1/2-story, Queen Anne-style
dwelling. The building is sheathed i n a combination o f wood clapboards and wood shingles and is capped by an asphalt roof
with an off-ridge brick criirnney. Dominating the gablefront is a two-story, three-sided bay window which is capped by a
flared-hip roof and lit by wide 1/1 windows. T o the west of the bay window is a single-story porch which fronts the
remainder o f the facade as well as the west elevation. The porch is supported by Roman Doric columns which rest on a
wood-shingled wall. The sidehall entrance contains a glass-and-panel front door. Adjacent is an oval, stained-glass window
accented by four keystones. The remaining windows are primarily 1/1 sash. A tri-partite window consisting o f a 1/1 sash
flanked by two narrow 1/1 windows is centered in the gable, flanked by fishscale wood shingles. The triangular section in the
top of the gable is extended forward and there is a pent roof at the base, enclosing the gable. Projecting from the east
elevation is a two-story cross gable.
The house is setback from the street with an asphalt driveway extending in front o f the house. A low brick w a l l and
ornamental plantings are immediately adjacent to the building. A chain link fence marks the boundary between 84 Federal
Street and its neighbor to the east.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building.
Explain
its associations
with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building
and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
The house at 84 Federal Street was constructed in 1899 for A l v i n J. Mooney. The building was constructed on the site of the
former b a m associated with 86 Federal Street, owned in 1897 by M r s . Louise Mooney. Mooney, a conductor for the B & M
Railroad, had this house (originally known as 86 1/2 Federal) constructed for his own use. The adjacent house at 86 Federal
was then rented out. A l v i n Mooney continued to occupy 84 Federal until 1944. M a b e l W a r d lived here from 1945-1948 and
Charles McTiernan, a station engineer, and his wife, A l i c i a , lived here from 1950 until about 1965.
